If a man love me, he will keep my word, he will keep my word.
And my Father will love him, and my Father will love him, and He will come to him, and make his home with him, and make his home with him.
To an unknown God.
Our lessons are a continuation of those for last Sunday.
Paul is preaching in Athens as we continue to take our first lessons from Acts. Even today Religion plays an important part in people's lives because we still feel the need to find means to make sense of our world and the inexplicable. Organized religion just doesn't seem to be meeting people's needs and church attendance reflects this dramatically.
Act 17:24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,
The Psalm asks that we praise this God.
The Epistle asks that even when we endure prejudice we act gently to reprove those who would slander us so that even our endurance be a witness to the respect we hold for all people.
God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one. If we keep the commandments Jesus taught then we gain entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven and oneness with God who will embue us with the Holy Spirit. As members of that Kingdom we will be about God's work here on earth and need not concern ourselves with things that are eternal as we have already entered the eternal realm.
And my Father will love him, and my Father will love him, and He will come to him, and make his home with him, and make his home with him.
