Colossians 1:21-23, Psalm 54, Luke 6:1-5

The power of love

How evangelical is my love? Jesus Christ tells me today that my love must not be confined to the narrowness of what I know because in the end that narrowness confines my capacity for love. We get a very clear picture of the power of love in the Gospel today. Equally clear is the picture St. Paul gives of the one who is following Jesus Christ with love and obedience. Holy, pure, blameless, solidly faithful and endlessly hopeful are the attributes of a disciple bringing evangelical love into the world.
