If we are to take life as an examination
hall where we are faced face to face with the invigilator, we will not
cheat. We will not sin. Tobe Eze.

WE
CAN STILL HAVE THAT CHRIST’S SCRIFICIAL LOVE.
An
experiment was carried out to know different people’s notions of love and each
gave the answer according the state of life the person was. It started with a
new married man. He said that love is when you come back from work and your
wife is yet to finish cooking and you go inside change and join her in the
cooking without complaining. It means you love your wife very well. A newly
married lady was asked the same question and she answered. It is when you
suffered all alone doing house chores, when your husband came back he pretended
he did not notice anything and without complain you went ahead and feed him when
you are eating. That shows you love your husband. A young lady was asked and
she said. Love is when your man after looking at all your weaknesses still defend
you before others and care for you the more. A young man was asked and he
answered. It is when your girl after seeing you with other girls that she does
not understand your movement with them and ignored everything and continues to
love you more. Two children were asked and they said. Love is when your parents
take care of you, show you parental love and responsibility. An old man was
asked and he said, it is when your wife who is younger than you still takes
care of you at your old age and your children do not make your BP to rise. All
these answers may be right but none of them has reached the love Jesus, God and
man has for and towards us. All these are just explaining love of one that is
dear to us. What of those whom we do not know? What of our enemies? What of
other things that are not human beings (like)? We have to leave our comfort
zones if we want to show the sacrificial love of Christ. Christ left his father
and the Holy Spirit in heaven, came down to us just for us to have life in full
(John 10:10b). Continue Reading.......................
