WALK IN LOVE This entry was posted on 06-17-2008 and is filed under uncategorized. "And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us..." (Eph. 5:2a NKJV).
All of us have stood at a street corner waiting for the signal to flash "Walk with light." Our text today gives us another signal: "Walk in love." Since "God is light" we can indeed "walk with light." And since "God is love" we can also "walk in love." The Norlie translation of Eph. 5:2 says, "Let love guide your footsteps..." What kind of love should direct our walk? Paul answers: "as Christ also has loved us." Jesus loved His disciples to the very end. His love was patient, kind, and most of all, self-sacrificing. If we are going to "walk in love" we must follow the example of Jesus. We must love one another as Christ loved His own. The Williams translation may have put it best: "Live a life of love, following the example of the Christ." Hymn: "Walking in footsteps of gentle forbearance, footsteps of faithfulness, mercy and love, Looking to Him for the grace freely promised, happy, how happy, our journey above" (Eliza E. Hewitt) |
