““We’re accustomed to thinking about love as an emotion or an experience that happens to us, but the Bible teaches us that love isn’t a what but a who. In Jesus, love has walked, talked, and touched us. Although we can’t physically see him now, we can see him as he shows himself to us in the Bible. Sometimes our idols make it difficult for us to see Jesus or to love clearly. We’re tempted to recast both Jesus and love in the image of our personal desires.””
