The best known part of 1 Corinthians 13 is verses 4-7. While wrestling with how to best break it into a sermon series it hit me how these verses are written. It’s written in a format of Love is.... Love is not....Love never fails.
God’s Patient and Kind love
2 Peter 3:9 NRSV
9The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance.
Romans 2:4 NRSV
4Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience? Do you not realize that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?
The Story of the Prodigal Son a story of God’s patient love.
