Jesus said his disciples would be known by their love.

Pastor Chris Brooks says that can be difficult.

This, my friends, is the challenge of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ.

This is the dangerous proposition of the gospel.

This is the call of Christianity that we are not a self-centered people who love like those who don't

have a savior. No, our Savior went to the cross while we were yet sinners. He loved us. And he calls us

to love our enemies. This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMas Walgamu, author of Choosing Gratitude.

For April 29th, 2021, I'm Dana Gresh.

Seems like there's one thing everybody likes to talk about, write about, yes, sing about. And that's

love. From inspired ancient Hebrew poetry, one of my favorite Old Testament passages,

let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for your love is better than wine. Behold, you are beautiful,

my love. Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are doves. To an English playwright's words written in the 17th century.

Love has been the subject of countless songs.

Sure has.

In fact, Nat King Cole spelled it out in 1965. In this group, they stated it pretty plainly.

And who I love you?

And who can forget this one by The Beatles?

It served as sort of a theme song for the hippie movement.

Dan, a Christian music is no exception.

Many of us grew up singing this one based on Jesus' words in John Chapter 13.

Well, based on Jesus' words in John Chapter 13. And they'll know we are Christians by our love.

Well, we all agree.
