As I sit and ponder “The Cross” today in preparation for my message on Sunday, I was reminded again that 1 Corinthians 13 needs to be a grounding text for Christians. It is the practical outworking of what it means to live a “cruciform” life.

An image quoting 1 Corinthians 13:4-7: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
