BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY Օրվա Աստուածաշնչական Ընթերցվածք Galatians 6:14 14 May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. TODAY S GOSPEL READING Այսօրվա Ավետարանը Matthew 24:30-36 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. The Lesson of the Fig Tree 32 From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So also, when you see all these things, you know that he[a] is near, at the very gates. 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. The Necessity for Watchfulness 36 But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son,[b] but only the Father.

I can't give away what I don't have: If I can't love others, it's because I don't know that God loves me. It is obvious that in order to give away money, you must have money to give away, and in order to give away a car, you must have a car to give away. Likewise, in order to give away love, you must have love to give away. That love -- true love -- can come only from God, for he is the only source of unconditional love. As followers of Christ, we are instructed to let God's love flow through us to the world: "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" (John 13:34). You are to love others as God loves you. However, if you don't know how much God loves you, then you can't love one another. Leviticus 19:18 says, "Love your neighbor as yourself." Again, if you don't have love in you (for yourself and for God), then you can't love others. So, if you're having trouble loving others, it's probably because you don't know how much God loves you.
