Day 288 - Isaiah 55-58 & 1 Thessalonians 3
“Now may ... the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all.” (1 Thessalonians 3:12 ESV)
Jesus says that He is the way, the truth and the life. So, what is His way? His way is the way of the cross, the way of sacrificial love. Paul is encouraging us to follow the loving way of our Savior: “increase and abound in love for one another and for all.”
The hymn writer expanded on Christ’s way of love when he wrote:
Love in Christ is strong and living,
Binding faithful hearts in one;
Love in Christ is true and giving,
May His will in us be done.
(Lutheran Service Book, CPH, 2006, #706 stanza 1)
Lord Jesus, thank You for Your sacrificial love. Please bless me with greater love for You and for others. Amen.
“See” you at the Communion table this morning!
