1Cor 13:1-8
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes
to the Father except through Me."
Woe to us who have God's Word and are not transformed to hear and
obey it.
Sundar Singh said that salt dissolved in water may disappear but it doesn't cease to
exist. We may be sure of its presence by tasting the water. Likewise the indwelling Christ
may be realised by His love He imparts to us. (You can find a short biography of Sadhu
Sundar Singh here)
Jesus said that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. When you
have Him you've found the way. When you have Him you have the Truth and abundant life.
If Christ is a reality to you He leads and guides you. Everybody
who tastes you will experience Christ.
Our text says that it is possible to give your body to the flames
or your possessions to the poor, but without love it still profits you nothing.
Love doesn't get impatient. Love is kind. Very often we are the most unkind to those who
are the closest to us. It doesn't keep record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices in the truth.
