Summary
In a dictionary, you might read that four Letter Words are words written with 4 letters that are considered profane or coarse. The “four-letter” claim refers to the fact that many (but not all) English “swear words” are incidentally four-character monosyllables. The term was used in this sense as early as 1886 in the United States. So we took the idea and applied it to words that - as followers of Jesus - we might find as offensive as a 4 letter word. This week that word is Love. How in the world is love a word that Jesus' followers might find offensive? The answer is found in what Jesus said in Matthew 5:43-48. You might read ahead to see what He said. And this week we’ll see what it means to you and me.
