Seeking the Unknown God: It's All About Love

Mother Paige reflects on Paul in Athens using the Temple of the Unknown God to meet people where they are and proclaim that God is not far from us: “in Him we live and move and have our being.” She asks the congregation and those worshiping at home why they came—praise, community, peace, guidance, love, even donuts—and says that whatever we seek, the answer is love. Turning to Jesus’ farewell address on the night of the Last Supper, she recalls foot washing, Judas’ betrayal, Peter’s denial, and the mandatum novum: “Love one another as I have loved you.” This sacrificial, chosen love is how Christ abides with us, how we keep his commandments, and the message the world needs: “If it’s not about love, it’s not about God.”00:00 Opening Prayer00:08 Paul in Athens01:17 Why We Came02:32 The Answer Is Love02:49 Last Supper Night04:16 New Commandment05:29 Abiding in John06:30 If Not Love07:36 Love Is A Choice08:14 Closing Charge
