If our love for one another is not energized by Jesus, we're doomed to slide from the promise of "All You Need Is Love" into the push and shove of "I,Me,Mine."Our love can't stop at "let's just get along"because the deep and ancient God-love emerges, not from compromise, but from sacrifice.
And the first step of sacrifice is submission-not sub mission to one another, although that will often be required-but an uncompromising submission to the head of all us "ones anothers".Jesus, our Lord, our brother, and Our King.
Jesus is the "head of the body, the church;He is the begining and tha firstborn from among the dead, so that in everthing He noght have the supremacy" (coloccians 1:18 NIV)
The ancient wisdom demands there be only one ruling mind - a mind that was there from the begining, firstborn among the "one another"This one ruling mind now operates within, providing us with a wisdom that passes all human understanding and connecting us to a deep, fathomless, supernatural love.
Submit to the head of our body, and He'll show you how to love others with a deep Jesus-love. it is his power and his strenght that will energize you to love even those, especially those,you find impossible to love.....
