One of the most popular relationship books of the past couple of decades is about our “love languages.” It identifies 5 ways that people show love, including giving gifts, spending time, verbal expressions, acts of service, and physical touch. Most folks have their favorites, and relationships are improved when we learn to “speak” the language of the other person, and that person learns to speak ours.
On this Good Friday, as we remember Jesus’ death for our sake, and as we look forward to Jesus’ resurrection, also for our sake, we are hearing God speak in his own love language for us. We’ve been focused on this topic all through Lent. God’s love language is the most beautiful, most powerful, most healing, and most inspiring language of all. No surprise there: God is the author of love! There may be more than 5 primary languages, but surely, God’s love in Jesus, displayed on the cross and in the empty tomb, uses them all.
This Sunday—Easter—we’ll celebrate God’s love as expressed in his victory over death. Join us, in-person or online! Read John 20:1-18. Then do the good work of listening to this message, “The Savior’s Love: Conquering Death.”
We’ll worship at 7:00, 9:00, and 11:00. Due to the weather forecast, all services will be in the Sanctuary.
