Have you been to a wedding lately? There’s a one in three chance, that if there is a Bible reading, the couple will have asked 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13. (I’m told by those who conduct marriages, that this is a reliable statistic!). However, I heard three days ago, not at a wedding, but at a commemoration of those who lost their lives in defending our country, The logic is clear – the sacrifice shown by these soldiers was, in one way or another, an act of love to protect those who lived on. And it prompted me to read, afresh, the passage, and to pray over it, searching for what it was saying, in an everyday context, both for me as an individual, and for us as a community, living in the blessing of knowing personally, the impact Christ’s sacrificial act of love has had on our lives. Please join me in this reflection and prayer time.
