The Word On The Street Anna Ware

In this episode you will discover a type of love that is so much more than all the others!



AGAPE (pronounced: Uh-GAH-pay) is God’s love for humankind - perfect, unconditional, sacrificial, pure, selfless and heroic. It is not about feelings but about actions. We are called to love like that too.



The Bible Verses in this episode:



JOHN 3:16 “God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die.



MATTHEW 22:36-39, “Teacher, what is the most important commandment in the Law?” Jesus answered: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. This is the first and most important commandment.  The second most important commandment is like this one. And it is, “Love others as much as you love yourself.” All the Law of Moses and the Books of the Prophets are based on these two commandments.”

Here are the bible verses quoted in today's episode:

JOHN 3:16 “God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die.”





The 4 types of love in Ancient Greek that appear in the Bible:



EROS Pronounced: AIR-ohs - romantic love - 1 COR 7:5 There isn’t much in the bible about this and what is there is not relevant for this podcast! So let’s move on!



STORGE Pronounced: STOR-jay - familial love - ROMANS 12:10, “Love each other as brothers and sisters.” As family. Parents and their child. Between siblings. Grandparents. Natural affection due to being related. With God as our heavenly Father, people who believe in Jesus are family. Not like family, actual family!



PHILIA Pronounced: FILL-ee-uh - strong friendship/intimate love, personal, dear, care, compassion, affection - JOHN 13:35 “If you love each other, everyone will know that you are my disciples.”



AGAPE Pronounced: Uh-GAH-pay - God’s love for humankind. Perfect, unconditional, sacrificial, pure. Selfless. Heroic. It is not about feelings but about actions. JOHN 3:16 “God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in him will have eternal life and never really die.”

There are many versions of the events of the nativity recorded in picture books, in movies and most accurately in the Bible. Today's episode contains the story of Jesus according to Luke.

How can we help those we know around us to fix their eyes on Jesus this Christmas?
What is a Christmas tradition that you might like to start and do every December that can help you to focus on Jesus?

Jesus lived in Heaven with God before coming to earth. What was coming to earth like? Humbling for sure, and not just because he was born to ordinary parents, placed in a manger and visited by lowly shepherds. It was humbling because he lost his high status! But did he think it was worth it? Tune in to find out!

Here are the bible verses quoted in today's episode:Bible Passage: Philippians 2:5-11

Christ was truly God.
But he did not try to remain    equal with God.

Instead he gave up everything    and became a slave,
when he became    like one of us.

Christ was humble.
He obeyed God and even died    on a cross.

Then God gave Christ    the highest place
and honored his name    above all others.

So at the name of Jesus    everyone will bow down,
those in heaven, on earth,    and under the earth.

And to the glory    of God the Father
everyone will openly agree,    “Jesus Christ is Lord!”



Today's Questions:


How has today’s episode changed the way you see the nativity story of Jesus’ birth?
Does Jesus’ humility, when he gave up his high position in heaven, spur you on to be more humble and how?
