Devocionales de Alfonso Gomez Plaza: CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL -A LOVE BEYOND...

A LOVE BEYOND...

Above all things love first.

THE opposite of love is hate. Within the line of hatred we find rejection, selfishness and even individualism. With these concepts clear, we are able to understand genocides, homicides and any other act of violence. What leads a brother to murder his own brother? What is it that allows the one who swore to defend your freedom and give you security to draw the regulation pistol from him and assassinate you because you are in the middle of a social protest against corruption? And the two determining factors go through the lack of love for God and the lack of love for neighbour. But, believing in God is not a guarantee of not resorting to violence, let's look at the cases of Cain and Abel, Moses also authorized barbaric acts against the conquered peoples, finally, we cannot ignore the act of prevarication by David by sending Uriah to be assassinated because he had made his wife pregnant. As we see, it is necessary not only the combination of love of God and love of neighbour, but a love that goes beyond and is completely integral is necessary.

"Then the scribe said to him: Well, Master, you have truly said that one is God, and there is no other besides him;"

Mark 12. 32

So the positions are quite clear:

1- Love God and recognize that only he is.

2- Love your neighbour as yourself.

3- Be whole to reach the stature of Christ.

"And loving him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your soul, and with all your strength, and loving your neighbour as yourself, is more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."

Mark 12. 33

Honestly, trying to accomplish these three at the same time is not as straightforward as said. Our lacks and needs only God can supply through his Spirit. So, if we allow the Holy Spirit of God to guide us, we will be able to show by our example that Jesus Christ really lives in each of us. On the other hand, by letting the Light of Christ reach other people, we will see how more and more the whole world is illuminated with the radiance of God, something that is needed in these times and with great urgency.

God bless you.
