Would you turn with me this morning, please, in the scripture, to John 13, John 13.

And let's continue on something we began last Sunday talking about the love of God.

What a wonderful topic.

I wrote this down some years ago, and I believe it completely, that, you know, talking about this subject as I was studying it, I wrote down, there is no greater topic one could think upon.

No greater subject one could discuss.

No greater message a minister could preach. Amen. Now that's saying a lot.

But it's true. I said it's true. The greatest of all. Isn't that what the scripture said?

Greatest of all. The love of God.

And one reason we're getting into this and we're going to stay on this as long as the Lord

directs us, I have a directive from the master concerning the church.

He said, teach and train the people how to love each other, how to take care of each other, and how to do the work of the ministry.

And so we've begun on that sum, but that's an objective.

I want to do what he told me to do.

How many want this whole church to do what he's telling us to do?

He wants us to love each other, and then as we develop in that, we love people outside of here.

You understand that?

So a lot of times people got things mixed up.

They're talking about saving the world, and they haven't even received the love of God for themselves.

And you can't give what you don't have.

You understand?

How can you help somebody else?

You don't know how to help yourself.
