THE STIMULUS OF LOVE

Mark 13:31-37

Love is keen. No eyes so sharply alert as love’s eyes; no brain so wide-awake as the brain stimulated by love. It’s only when the heart’s aflame with a tender love that the mind and ear and eye and hand are at their best. When it’s a dear friend you’re watching for, then all the life is on tiptoe. It isn’t simply watching; it’s watching for him! And the watching makes sooner the day of the coming.

Romans 12:10  Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

LOVE-HUNGRY

Mark 14:1-9

Jesus is so grateful for love. It alone can satisfy his heart. He judges everyone by the heart’s action. He thinks of every action of ours, every bit of service, every gift, by how much heart is in it. It’s the coin, or the act, that is tinged red with the heart’s blood, which he prizes most. It may be only a small jar of ointment, but its fragrance fills his heart and all the world.

James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

THE SADDEST THING

Mark 13:1-9

The saddest thing is to be untrue to God’s plan for one’s life. The Jewish Temple was the heart of the Jewish nation. It enshrined all that the nation stood for. It represented the national ideal—faithfulness to God and to their God-given world-mission. They were untrue to God and to their world-mission. So they were destroyed as a nation (not as a people). But they are to have another chance. The patience of God!

Ephesians 2:8-9  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

THE DEBT OF LOVE

2Corinthians 8:9-15

The Jew was taxed a tenth, and made freewill offerings besides. All the Christian has belongs to God. Whatever we have is his, because we are his. It is given us in trust, to be administered conscientiously as his Spirit suggests. We are to owe no man anything. Yet we are badly in debt. It is a debt of love, due to God, payable to man. We pay it only by giving freely as the Spirit directs.

1 Peter 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

LOVE BREEDS LOVE

Psalms 116:1-14

Our love to God grows out of his love for us. He does so much for us. We may forget him, but he never forgets any man. He gives us our breath continuously; else our lives would quickly snuff out. He gives us bed and bread, shelter of roof, warmth of fire, sunshine and rain. He gave his Son’s blood for us on Calvary. If a man stop to think even a bit, the answering love must come.

1 Peter 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
