The Love of Christ

 

Brothers and sisters:
The love of Christ impels us,
once we have come to the conviction that one died for all;
therefore, all have died.
He indeed died for all,
so that those who live might no longer live for themselves
but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

Consequently, from now on we regard no one according to the flesh;
even if we once knew Christ according to the flesh,
yet now we know him so no longer.
So whoever is in Christ is a new creation:
the old things have passed away;
behold, new things have come.

STUDIUM:

Paul is talking about his ministry and how we should all think about ourselves and each other.  We aren't to think like the world thinks about people.  We are to think like Jesus, act like Him, and better, love like He does.

MEDITATIO:

Jesus died for us. We must accept this and thank Him by transforming ourselves to behave as Jesus would.  We are His disciples.

ORATIO;

Lord, help me see through Your eyes.  Help me not to judge by today's standards, but by love.

CONTEMPLATIO:

I wish to please You, Lord.
