1 Corinthians 13: 4 – Love is patient, love is kind.

Can you always see Jesus’ love at work?

Sometimes little things are done that only affect one person and no mention is made of it.

Sometimes we see big changes because of the love that has been provided by someone.

Jesus acts through people.

John 3: 16 – For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son.

How did God give his Son Jesus?

Jesus came into the world as a special baby to grow within a family, to learn about the world and the religious faith and to bring a new love to the people.

Jesus was crucified that allowed for the sins of everyone in the world to be forgiven.

Ephesians 3: 18 – To grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of God.

How far-reaching is Jesus love?

No matter how small or big we are Jesus provides us with his love.

No matter how small something is that we do Jesus loves that we have taken the trouble to do and may be able to spread it as he spreads his love.
