I read Ephesians 5:1-2 (MSG) this morning and I just had to share it.

Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.

We are to be students of love.  With Christ as our teacher.

We are to watch how Christ loved his Father, and we are to love our parents like that.

We are to watch how Christ loved his bride, the church, and we are to love our spouse like that.

We are to watch how Christ loved children, and we are to love our children like that.

We are to watch how Christ loved strangers, and we are to love strangers like that.

Christ’s love is extravagant. We are to love like that.
