Trinity United Methodist Church Daily Scripture Email Devotion for Wednesday, 11 June 2014 "God is love"
He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love (Song 2: 4)
There is something about a meal together, and a celebratory banquet is even better! Jesus uses this metaphor a lot to describe God's kingdom here on earth and in heaven above. We celebrate holy communion as both a reality of a "love feast" here and in anticipation of it in heaven. And that wonderful phrase: "His banner over me is love."
How sad that many people see God's banner over them as one of fear or wrath or anger or scolding or... The Good News Jesus brought is that God's nature is love - for all the world.
What does God's banner over you say?
