erent from the love revealed in santa ciaus and christmasgift giving the latter is a love that is earned by be ing good or friendly we give gifts to those who love us or are our friends or to those from whom we a gift in return in ohristi how ever god reveals his love for the un lovely the unloving the sinful the bad he loves those who do not love him the love of god in christ which culmirmttjd in thi crucinxioi was not a reciprocal aflair on an equal giveand take basis the love was all given and nothing was de manded in return it is man s nature to respond to such love but that is it is not man s nature so to love except he becomes a new creature in christ jesus this kind of love is not an ideal discovered by man it is not the fl nal stage in mans search lor god it is the result of gods search for man it is a gift of god thanks le unto god for his unspeakable gift i2 cor 9 15 no one was looking for such a person as jesus christ turned out to be no one was envisaging an ideal which was finally achieved in christ s death the religious thought of the age in which jesus lhed was quite diserent the jews were looking for a messiah but he was thought of as a messiah of power and glory who would establish an earthly kingdom and lead the jewish people to pros perity and world dominion that god should reveal himself not in power and glory but in a babe born m a lowly table in a humble peasant who had nowhere to lay his head in the death of his son for the sms of tbe world was a conception which origi nated nowhere but in the mind of god men did not go searching among the stars to find divine love love was thrust down to earth and even then men did not recognize it john the evangelist says he came to his own and his own received him not gods act of grace designed to embrace the unworthy and lht unloving could spring only from uic divine mind flush and bloo coufrrofcooneelveit flesh and blood were unprepared for it when it took plae and flesh and blood do not beliee it today poj the modem world does not know this love the modem man knes those who love him and if love u unreciprocated he wants none of it the increasing number of divorces in tbe marriage relationship is an il lustration of this when one member to a marriage is no longer satisfied b thy emotional su if action he gets from his partner his or her inclin ation is to make an end of the part nenshlp our whole idea of love is based on what is received and is only wilting to give in so far as something is given in return the goal and standard of living to day is what vou can get out of life the individual stands on his rights over against other individuals classes in society and nations to the interna tional sphere are prepared to work with one another only to so far as they receive concessions equal to what they give and they aretrnwiluug to give until they have first reeelvea cbrlsttan love gives first and receives tkf there be s return of gratitude second haw there is such a ttfnrae jusuce to bumtifi relationships wherein the righto of mdtviduals ata classes and nations are guaranteed and there is such a thing a human atf ectkm but these must not be confused with christian love tbe
