(June 10, 2024) Richard Winter shares ‘food for thought’…

Imagine this setting…
Great restaurant, soft music, your intended seated beside you, his hand reaching over and touching you, and voice filled with passion says, ‘I love you.’

Or settings like these…

• Men bonding with men who jovially say, ‘Man, I love you. What a game!’ after a great football match.
• Women doing something similar when they go shopping with another woman.

Ever looked for such settings in the New Testament?  They’re not to be found!

• Jesus never said, ‘I love you’ to the woman at the well.
• Nor is He recorded as saying, ‘I love you’ to the disciples.
• Rather He asked them if they loved Him!
• He demonstrated caring love to many!
