B. My class this week
Week four in the fireproof series. This section is titled “He first loved us.” We watched a video clip of Caleb talking to his father about how his wife Catherine is responding to the Love dare and how difficult it is to love someone when they aren’t respecting you and rejecting your attempts to love you. Caleb’s father uses the opportunity to show Caleb that this is exactly what happens when God loves us and we reject Him.
Next we read a great illustration about Michael, a mob boss, who fell in love with Camilla, a Christian. The romance seemed like it would work, but that is because Camilla did not know of Michael’s connections with the mob. Camilla’s love for Jesus Christ draws Michael in, and he comes to Christ, and the two wed.
The main point this week is about loving someone who doesn’t really want our love; loving someone who rejects us. Caleb’s father makes the statement that we can’t love those who don’t love us simply because we don’t have that love to give. We can’t truly love others until we experience the love of Christ.
C. Questions this week
1.Can people who don’t know Jesus not know what love is?
2. How can I persevere in loving others that reject me and not burn out or be bitter?
