2 John 1:6 … Walking the LAW (06/16/17)
“And this is Love … You must walk in It.”
~ unknown (2 John 1:6)
This statement is a patent and absolute Truth – indeed, one of the most important Truths in existence; and indeed the very same Truth that formed the primary foundation for Jesus’ entire ministry (see Matthew 5:43-48, Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew 25:35-40, John 1:1-8+16, John 3:3-8, John 3:21, John 5:29, John 13:15-17, John 14:12, John 14:20-26 et al) … It was a Truth that formed the essential basis for his entire Gospel (see Matthew 24:12-14 – also Matthew 22:37-40 & Luke 10:29-37), and it was a Truth that is consistently (though often subtly) reflected throughout the rest of the New Testament as well (see Acts 10:34-35, Acts 17:28, 1 Corinthians 4:20, Galatians 5:6, Galatians 6:2, Ephesians 2:10, James 1:22-25, 1 John 2:6, 1 John 2:29, 1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:18 et al) …
Essentially, Jesus came to remind us all that Love is either a verb or it is nothing, and that Love can only become transcendent (and thereby transformational) in those times when it is difficult to give — when it is shared in those moments we least wish to do so, especially for those deemed least deserving of the same.
Amen … Let it be so.
