I want you to see that the greatest work of conversion is yet ahead. I want you to see that the biggest, largest, grandest thing that God intends to do with your life is yet before you as He changes you and transforms you by the love He has set upon you in His Son. And this happens, according to this passage, in five ways. Today, let's talk about three ways the love of Christ is expressed in this passage. For Christ, love is not what love feels.
Love is what love does.
There is no way to define love or even to recognize it apart from the actions that express it. The love of Christ for us, the church, means that He gave up Himself for us . Think what that means. He gave up the right, the prerogatives, of being God. That's what Christ, our Bridegroom, did.
