Teachings of Jesus

Love (John 13:34, 35)

     Love is the eternal flame of the universe, nay, the very fire itself. It is written that God is Love, and that we are his expressed likeness, the image of the Eternal Being. Love is self givingness through creation, the impartation of the Divine through the human.
     Love is an essence, an atmosphere, which defies analysis, as does Life Itself. It is that which IS and cannot be explained: it is common to all people, to all animal life, and evident in the response of plants to those who love them. Love reigns supreme over all.
     The essence of love, while elusive, pervades everything, fires the heart, stimulates the emotions, renews the soul and proclaims the Spirit. Only love knows love. Words cannot express its depth of meaning. A universal sense alone bears witness to the divine fact: God is Love and Love is God.
