1 Corinthians 13:4-10
The way Paul describes love is WAY different than the way we normally understand love. Real love is radical. Usually we love things that are nice and pleasant that make us feel good. Paul tells us the truly loving something means being to suffer and make serious sacrifices for that thing. IT’S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO LOVE SOMEONE OR SOMETHING THIS WAY. In fact it’s impossible to really understand the kind of love this side of heaven, because we are finite beings and sinners to boot! Christ sacrificial death on the cross is the purest example of love. It’s so amazing we know that angels, beings whom have been around for millions of years, can’t stop marveling at the deed. Wow, that is real love.
