I Corinthians 13:3

Tens of thousands of Christians have been killed because of their faith. What would give someone the strength to be a martyr? How could a person ask God to forgive his or her murderer while the vile act was taking place? The answer is simple but powerful: love. In this week’s foundational verse, there are three pieces: love, pain and gain. We all want “gain,” and some of us are willing to experience “pain” in order to reach “gain.” But not all pain leads to gain. The solution, of course, is love. When we are motivated by love rather than gain, our pain will always find redemption.
