The Equation of Love

Sunday, June 11, 2023

In mathematics, one plus one equals two. But when Scripture speaks about love, one plus one equals one. In Genesis, the two become one flesh. Messiah said, "A man shall leave father and mother...and the two shall be one flesh." Messiah and the Church, the two shall be one. It doesn't make sense; it's not logical that one plus one equals one. But love isn't logical. Saying that someone gave you no reason to love them, they're unloving. That doesn't matter. Stop looking for a reason to love. Love is not rational, or reasonable, according to our laws and understanding. Love doesn't need a reason. Love gives a reason because God is love and He loved us when we gave Him no reason. So those people who give you no reason to love, love them anyway. That's how God loves you. One plus one is supposed to equal two, but the nature of God's love defies our laws. One plus one equals one. Love is not logical. It involves the miracle of transcending yourself. Just love and bless them anyway. It's as logical as one plus one equals one.
