The Chibi News Daily Reflection

Hello, my name is Nimsa Bungay and I'm the pastor of Freedom's Ark and member of the Evangelical Alliance here in the Tottenham Town Hall

A lawyer once asked Jesus in Luke 10 25, what must I do to inherit eternal life
0:21
Jesus asked him what was written in scriptures. He replies, love God with all your heart, your soul, your strength and mind and love your neighbor as yourself
0:30
And Jesus responded, you've answered right. Do this and you will live
0:34
From this we learn that love is life itself. Without love we weather
0:40
We may achieve much, but without compassion we're only existing, not really living
0:46
Love goes beyond self. Jesus later said in John 15 verse 13
0:50
greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends
0:56
Real love costs something, whether in patience, with sacrifice or forgiveness. Love is practical. It's more than words
1:04
It looks like kindness in the office, gentleness in family life, and respect in public life
1:10
Love reflects God's own nature. As St. Augustine once said, love and do what you will
1:17
Why? Because true love guides us towards what is good and life-giving
1:21
This do and thou shalt live. Jesus' words remind us, love is not just a command, it's a pathway to true life
1:30
Let us pray. God of love, teach us to love you fully and our neighbor sincerely
1:37
Give us courage to lay aside pride and to walk in the way of Christ
1:41
who laid down his life for us all. Amen
