Hebrews 12:5-6 “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, 6 because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son.”

2 Corinthians 11:2-3 2 For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. 3 But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

LOVE PERSEVERES vs , 15b-18

LOVE IS NOT SELF-SEEKING vs ,19

LOVE IS NOT SELF-SEEKING Paul loved the Corinthians more than things

John Piper on 2 Cor. 12:14 "How many marriages deteriorate into empty motions because husbands do not hear the silent yearnings of the wife: “I don’t want your money, I want you”? How many parents have lost their children because they failed to interpret the signs: “I don’t want your presents, Daddy, I want you”? And how many tithing churchgoers will be lost to the kingdom because the Word of God never reached their hearts: “I will seek not what is yours but you”?"

LOVE IS NOT SELF-SEEKING Paul loved the Corinthians more than things Paul loved the Corinthians more than himself

QUESTIONS OF REFLECTION How are our relationships? Is there love at the core of our hearts, or are we more concerned about things? Do we value ourselves more than others, or do we sacrifice and spend ourselves for our fellow man? Do we love our friends enough to confront them? Do we seek their purity above their happiness?

Ephesians 5:1-2 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
