Scripture: 1 John4:7-21
On this Anabaptist World Fellowship Sunday, Melissa began her sermon with a 2017 video illustrating what young kids thought God looks like. You can watch the video on YouTube.
How God looks is a mystery to us. But there is something that might get us pretty close. Maybe it’s even better. If we love each other, God’s love gets into us and it becomes whole, complete. We get to know what God is like because of love.
There is a cost of love. Our spiritual ancestors knew this. Each time God’s love shows up in people, that love brings danger and instability for the powerful, especially for the power of the state. Those powers have attempted to crush God’s love in people. And yet, we live out our days without fear, because the perfect love of God casts out fear.
