Ah, the “Love Chapter”. Until recently, I knew it primarily as the most quoted scripture in marriage ceremonies, declaring God’s desire for perfect love. While that may be true, I have also discovered that the chapters immediately preceding this one discuss spiritual gifts and the importance of unity in the body of Christ. Paul then reminded his readers that regardless of the gifts we have or the role we play in Christ’s body, if we use our gifts or play our role without love that mirrors the love of Christ, we might as well not bother, for that is the greatest thing we can do as His followers.
