Love like there's no tomorrow, and if tomorrow comes, love again.                                                                                 ~Max Lucado

Yesterday was Valentine's Day; an entire day set aside to celebrate love.  What if, instead of just one day, we focused on love every day.  Jesus Christ, the God-Man, was born, lived, died, and was resurrected...all because of love.  Every hour of every one of His days was focused on love.

His message was one of love.
       For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes
       in him shall not perish but have eternal life.                                         ~John 3:16

His mandate was rooted in love.
       “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”                                                                                                                                                         ~Mark 1:17

His mission was love.
       “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”  Jesus replied: “‘Love the
        Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’  This
        is the first  and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor
        as yourself.’  All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”  
                                                                                                                 ~Matthew 22:36-40

He was the the perfect model of love.
       "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love
       one another.  By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one
       another.”                                                                                            ~John 13:34-35
