Love Is Not Rude or Self-Seeking

"[Love] is not rude..."

I will be gentle in my words and actions

I will ask before I take and take notice of your cares and concerns

"It is not self-seeking"

I will put your needs before mine.

I will consider my way subordinate to God's way and your way.

Passing It On

Before Jesus ascended to heaven, he passed his ministry on to the church. You know the Great Commission, but what about the commission Jesus gave in Mark? Each Gospel writer records a time when Jesus passed his ministry on to his followers, and each commissioning gives a different aspect of what the mission of the church is in the world.
