Summum bonum
“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”
“Life is before you. You can only live it once.”
Love is the Summum bonum ( supreme good.)
God’s word is a lamp to your feet. It shines out in the darkness…
guiding you!
“Love suffereth long, and is kind;
Love envieth not;
Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly,
Seeketh not her own,
Is not easily provoked,
Thinketh no evil;
Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all
things, endureth all things.”
Read the entire chapter of 1 Cor 13 for more on God’s kind of Love!
The Apostle Peter said, “Above all things have fervent love among yourselves.”
John goes farther, “God is love!”
Paul said,”Love is the fulfilling of the law.”
Man has always tried to work his passage to heaven by keeping the law.
Christ said, “I will show you a more simple way, if you love, you will unconsciously fulfil the whole law.”
Jesus Christ’s one secret of the Christian life!
Be filled with God’s Spirit and reflect the love of God to the world.
God’s love is the universal language.
It could take you years to learn another language, but the language of love is understood by all.
In the heart of Africa, among the great Lakes, African men and women remembered David Livingstone. They remembered the kind Doctor who passed there, they could not understand him; but they felt the love that beat in his heart.
“Now abideth faith, hope, love, but the greatest of these is love.”
Summum bonum.
“Oyez!” “Oyez!”
