2 John 1:6 … Walking the LAW<br />
(06/16/20<strong>17</strong>)<br />
“And this is Love … You must walk in It.”<br />
~ unknown (2 John 1:6)<br />
This statement is a patent and absolute Truth – indeed, one of the most<br />
important Truths in existence; and indeed the very same Truth that formed the<br />
primary foundation for Jesus‟ entire ministry (see Matthew 5:43-48, Matthew 7:21-<br />
23, Matthew 25:35-40, John 1:1-8+16, John 3:3-8, John 3:21, John 5:29, John 13:15-<strong>17</strong>,<br />
John 14:12, John 14:20-26 et al) … It was a Truth that formed the essential basis<br />
for his entire Gospel (see Matthew 24:12-14 – also Matthew 22:37-40 & Luke 10:29-<br />
37), and it was a Truth that is consistently (though often subtly) reflected<br />
throughout the rest of the New Testament as well (see Acts 10:34-35, Acts <strong>17</strong>:28, 1<br />
Corinthians 4:20, Galatians 5:6, Galatians 6:2, Ephesians 2:10, James 1:22-25, 1 John<br />
2:6, 1 John 2:29, 1 John 3:7, 1 John 3:18 et al) … Essentially, Jesus came <strong>to</strong> remind<br />
us all that Love is either a verb or it is nothing, and that Love can only become<br />
transcendent (and thereby transformational) in those times when it is difficult <strong>to</strong><br />
give -- when it is shared in those moments we least wish <strong>to</strong> do so, especially for<br />
those deemed least deserving of the same.<br />
