I John 4:19

Jesus IS…the first,

best,

greatest,

true love of my life.

God IS…the author

of all real love.

He pursues his own with a

relentless,

unconditional,

irresistible gracious love.

In fact,

“God is crazy about YOU…and there’s nothing you can do about it!”

(to quote an anonymous coffee cup)

greek word “agape”

God’s unconditional love

reaches for rebels

he humbly disrobed

to wash Judas’ dirty feet

king assumed servant role

he lay down own life

to pay ransom for captives

sweat pressed in garden

Jesus’ sacrifice

blood shed on altar for sin

perfect Lamb of God

remembering him

my first love, true love, best love

sing with gratitude
