Sunday 2/18/24 Recap: Agape Love

Agape Love:

• Jesus has a deep love for us

• When we (humanly) love something, it's because we have placed worth on it

• Jesus' love gives us worth; he doesn't love us because we are worthy

• In today's scripture, Luke 7:11-16, the power of Jesus is expressed through deep and sincere compassion and love for the woman

  • In verse 13, "Jesus saw her"

    • There is a difference between seeing and noticing/taking action

• God sees you; God notices you - he hears the cry of your heart. He is trying to lock eyes with you

• Love crosses lines: Jesus crossed the line to raise the boy with one touch

• Never draw lines to keep people out; cross lines to bring them in

• There was no boundary and no law that would keep Jesus from expressing His love for His people

• If you're looking at something in your life that looks dead, remember we have a resurrecting Savior to go to. He sees what you need, but tell Him

Today's Scripture:

• Luke 7:11-16
