In today's worship we'll hear two readings that seem to be at opposite ends of a spectrum.  The first is the famous "Love chapter" (I Cornithians 13), that you often hear at weddings.  The second contains that difficult saying of Jesus, "love your enemies."  People have difficult and often unrealistic understandings of these two sayings, largely because we don't have a good understanding of what the Bible means with the word "love."  But since John the Apostle wrote "God is love," maybe we ought to begin there and see where these readings take us.
