Wake Up from Your Sleep
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.
~ Ephesians 5:1,2 (The Message)
Bible Commentary: Just as children imitate their parents, we should imitate Christ. His great love for us led him to sacrifice himself so that we might live. Our love for others should be of the same kind--a love that goes beyond affection to self-sacrifice service.
