LOVE DOES NOT BOAST 1 CORINTHIANS 13:4 SOUL FOOD Sundays 6am - 9am with DaddyCool You can say I love you in a lot of different ways, can’t you? In reality, love is shown more by what you do than by what you say. With in mind remember the bible say that love is kind. This morning we’ll look at another facet of love. In 1 Corinthians 13:4 Paul says that Love does not boast, it is not proud. In fact, God often humbled people before He made them great. - Before Joseph became the Prime Minister of Egypt, he had to spend time as a slave & be cast into an Egyptian prison. - Before Moses, who grew up in the palace of Pharaoh, ever became the great deliverer & leader of Israel, he had to spend years as a shepherd in the fields of Midian, a very humbling experience. - Before Saul of Tarsus became the great apostle to the Gentiles & write most of the N.T., he had to be humbled on the Damascus Road by the blinding flash of light from heaven, & the voice of the resurrected Lord. - Paul says that humility is a very important part of our love relationship. And yet, humility is often disparaged today. We are much more concerned with feeling good about ourselves, & being proud of ourselves, & boasting about our accomplishments. - Politicians brag about what they have done, & assure you that if you will vote for them again that they will accomplish even more. - Advertisers say, I know that this product is expensive, but you deserve the best today. So go ahead & buy it. No, we’re not a very humble people, & learning the lessons of humility does not come easy for us. Yet, if we’re going to have the kind of relationship with one another that God wants us to have, then we need to understand why Paul says, Love does not boast, it is not proud. And then begin to develop Godly humility in our lives. DaddyCool B Lesupi SEJO SA MOEA Daddycool
