The King is Here: How to Love Like God

As we work our way through the book of Luke, we are entering into some of Jesus’ most famous teachings. In Luke 7v27-36, Jesus gives a word that seems to set an incredibly high bar for what it looks like to live in the kingdom. Many of us look at our lives and see a great discrepancy between the lifestyle laid out in the sermon on the mount, and how we actually live. How can we become the kind of people Jesus is talking about in this passage? Perhaps it’s less about what you can change about yourself, and more about how you view God. Do you believe that He only has kind thoughts about you, and good intentions towards you? The key is this: we let His love and mercy get so deep inside us that we became more loving and merciful. This change happens from the inside out, and it’s the only way to life abundantly in the kingdom. There is no end to His love, therefore we lack nothing. Be encouraged by this word, and let Him love you again today.
