The Magic of Love Sermon
Love is the most powerful force that can readily transform lives and bring
joy , happiness and fulfillment. . Love covers over a multitude of sins and we
should love each other deeply [1 Peter 4:8].
Love is associated with empathy, mercy, caring, forgiveness. The very best
example of great love is Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross on our behalf
Jesus took on himself all of our iniquities in an undeniable act of love
[Romans 5:8; 1 John 4:10]. I Not only did Jesus cover our sin he completely did
away with them [Hebrews 10:12–14].
Our lives are hidden with Christ in God [Colossians 3:3]. which means we
have a new life, great assurance, a living hope,a place of refuge.. Nothing at
all can harm us when our lives are hidden with Christ.This is our firm assurance
that God will defend and save us. We may stand still and see what God will
do f.
.Love is a force that can inspire , transform and excite us. However, pure and
perfect love is not always easy. God’s love did not protect His own Son, and
sometimes he even hammers and chisels and purifies us by fire to make us
more like his Son. But let us learn to trust in the love of God and the ability
of his love to transform us, bring joy and happiness, and cover a multitude of
sins.
The concept of hiding in Christ is interwoven with this theme of perfect love.
Being hidden in Jesus Christ means, our identity is established on what
Christ has done not what we have done of ourselves. Through Him, we have
an eternal relationship with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is our solid hope
today and forever .
Hiding in Christ help us to love others to become more like Him, reflect Jesus
love in our actions and behaviors, overcome fear and live by faith. When we
are hidden in Christ, we can trust in His love ,enabling us to love others with
the same love that He has for them.
There are several biblical examples to illustrate this concept of hiding in Christ
and how it relates to loving others.
In the story of Mary and Martha [Luke 10:38-42]: Mary chose to sit at Jesus'
feet and listen to Him, while Martha was busy with preparations. Jesus said that
Mary had chosen what was better, and it would not be taken away from her. How
important then to be hidden in Christ and spend time with Him, stay connected
to him.
The story of the Good Samaritan [Luke 10:25-37]: where this stranger shows
unconditional love to a man who had been beaten and left for dead, even
though the man was from a nationality that made him as it were, an enemy.
Zacchaeus was a tax collector who was despised by the people. When Jesus saw
him, He invited Himself to Zacchaeus' house. Zacchaeus repented of his sins.,
demonstrating the power of Jesus' love to transform and change lives.
Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman at a well, even though Jews did not normally
associate with Samaritans .Jesus showed compassion to the woman, and as such
she was transformed by His love. How important it is to show love and
compassion to people,no matter what their background.
Being hidden in Christ is not a standardized magic formula, but it can help us to
love others better, love our neighbors as ourselves, and be a change agent in our
homes, communities and to others.
The magic of love, the depth of love, the awesomeness of love which is Jesus
Christ. If you have not already turned to Jesus, why not do so today. All of your
sins were paid for by him on the cross of Calvary , and he freely forgives all who
comes to him and asks him in faith to save them. Find your place of security in
his perfect love.
Maybe you have been a believer for years, yet you feel you are losing in your
battle against sin. Know that Jesus paid the price for all your sins before he saved
you. If you ask him to forgive you, he will do so and cleanse you from all
unrighteousness. He loves us more than anything, not because we deserve it, but
because of Him. Embrace the Magic of love today.
