Two Kinds of Love Lesson for October 27, 1963 ——- — , Bibl. Matniah 1 Corhithiant 11:1 WoOirK IS:TS; Devotional Readinc: John 15:9-17. WHEN THE religion of Christ began to spread through the world, it was so new and totally different from everything that had been called by the name of religion before that Christians almost had to find new words to express it

One example is the familiar English word “Love.” We all know the 13th$ghapter of I Corinthians by heart (or if we don’t, now is the time to learn it!) and we have said all our lives that love is the great-

Dr. Foreman

est thing in the world. What’s new about that? Unfortunately, the newness of the idea of “love” cannot be expressed in our English language, but it can in Greek, which is the language of all the New Testament books. For the Greeks often had several words for (almost) the same thing, and they used these words to express the different varieties of whatever it was they were talking about. For example, there were four different words in Greek which can all be translated “love,” and two in particular, “eros” (rhymes with morose) and “agape” (pronounced a-GAH-pay). Selfish love Is shellfish love By far the more familiar one of these two words was eros; the other one is hardly ever found before the Christians got hold of it and began using it. Eros is something everybody knows about; and no pagan Greek could have seen the point if Saint Paul had told him eros is the greatest thing in the world. But it isn’t, and Paul didn’t say it was. Eros can be a kind of mental sickness, it can be frustrating, it can injure the one who has it, for it is what is often called “possessive” love. It is the love a domineering mother has for a child she keeps tied to her apronstrings. It is the love of a jealous lover who can’t bear to see his sweetheart smile at another man. The song of eros is “I want you all for mine.” This can be very sweet, and there is room for it in the varied experiences of life. But it can be frustrating and painful, for it is never fulfilled. The eros-lover is never satisfied, always anxious lest his sweet possession be swept from him. And at the worst, eros-love destroys personality, for the tendency of eros to seize and to hold*is like the action of a clam caring not a minnow’s worth for any creature around it, opening its shell only to take in, never to give. (Who ever heard of a generous clam?) God-like love The love of which Paul so eloquently and beautifully writes, is not eros, it is agape. Wherever in the New Testament the love of God for his children is spoken of, it is always agape, not eros. Now the special glory of agape is that its desire is not to be served but to serve. Eros is love that stops being love when it finds Its affection is not returned. Eros is fastidious; it loves only what is lovable and noble. Eros demands that what is loved come up to a certain standard. Agape loves others as they are, where they are. But agape is never content to leave the loved ones where they are. Agape love is transforming love. If God’s love were eros, he would be waiting yet —and he might wait forever—till man was good enough to deserve to be loved. But God loved us "while we were yet sinners.” Agape transforms the unworthy. Eros vanishes when the loved object fades; Agape, itself unfading, creates a never-fading beauty in the object of love. Where love It needed Now it needs no argument to persuade us that agape-love is needed in this distraught world. Persons and nations perish for the lack of it. Is there any place where we can find enough agape-love to go around? Is there any company of pilgrims on this earth who have fed on this bread of heaven till they want no more? One answer comes straight to mind: The church, of course the church! It is no doubt indeed the one company out of all mankind which makes love its aim; it is the one company which has no excuse for its existence if it does not make love its aim. But the church has never achieved this love, or has never achieved it in such measure that it can say, we need no more. Paul speaks of the need for love, to men and women who had many gifts of the spirit; he speaks of it to those who worshipped with joyful hearts. But even at the very throne of grace, who can say that he has tovad though?

WHEN WINTER OF LIFE COMES Rev. James R. Meadows —-Aj the blanket of. snow covers the ground in the northern part of the country during the winter, after the trees have been stripped of their beautiful foilage, just so the winter of life comes to the children of men. The color and brilliance of a few brief years dull with age. Proud limbs weaken and bend. Snow covers the brow. The winter life has come. The winter of life! Perhaps you standing upon it verge. If so, pause a moment, and listen. In the Book of books there is a passage, rich in hope and assurance: “Now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” <1 Cor. 13:12). It seems but a short while ago you had no need for glasses. You were young and your eyesight was strong. Then, perhaps not so long ago, you found you had to consult an optometrist. At first you saw quite well with the glasses he prescribed for you. But for some time now they have been quite blurred, and so you see “through a glass, darkly,” and that is the way you view many of life’s mysteries. But the time is coming when we shall see face to face; the blessed day is almost here when we shall know even as also we are known. Perhaps you are nearing the dark valley of death. Just across the valley stands a radiant figure, a “figure of matchless splendor, and He declares: “I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore.” Nineteen centuries ago He came down to this unfriendly world. He went STIEFEL GRAIN CO.
