 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 KJV


His love has the first and last word in everything we do. Our firm decision is to work from this focused center: One man died for everyone. That puts everyone in the same boat. He included everyone in his death so that everyone could also be included in his life, a resurrection life, a far better life than people ever lived on their own.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 MSG

That term "constraineth us", that's a hug, right?

Needed words for sour evening Reverend. Thanks.

Rev. Paul said...

Ed, I'm pretty sure you know what it means. :) And yes, it could be interpreted that way, since He IS love.

You're welcome, TB.

I’m taking that as a compliment, sir.
