-real love is when it is difficult to love
-the cross shows not just Jesus' suffering for us but also His love for us
-our life is built on God's love... Not our achievements
1. Love is the heart of the christian life
2. The cross is the ultimate expression of love
-Jesus love us on the cross
-sacrifically
-unconditionally
-selflessly
-forgivingly, forgiving even those who crucify Him
-faithfully even when suffering is unbearable
3. True love is self-giving and self-seeking
-genuie love actively seeks the good for someone else
4. Jesus' love is humble and self emptying
-Jesus emptied Himself from heaven, and humbly become slave
-we must think like Jesus, pattern our life like Jesus
-humality is not weakness
5. Cruciform love must become our way of life
-we can remain loving in life
-what we received from God, we extend to others
-loving when it's hard to love, forgiving when it's hard to forgive, surrendering pride in the face of pain
Love means
-it's not about winning every argument
-better to listen then to speak
