Sunday 21st  February  A beautiful Sunday to you in the name of Jesus. In the past few days, our focus has been on the different shades of love especially as it is in the Greek language. In English language word love is simply love but in the Greek language, there are seven different words that communicate the word Love. In the last few days, we have discussed six of these different expression.  Today, we will discuss the last one called Agape. Agape means unconditional love, it is the type of love with no strings attached and it’s a very special kind of love. Sometimes people feel that Agape is weak but his is not true. It is because we do not understand what Agape is. This kind of love can be tough. This is the kind of love that God has for us. The Bible says, there is no greater love than this for a man to lay down his life for his friend. The Bible says again that while we are still in sin, Christ died for us. Agape is the Love God has for us and He wants us to have this  kind of love for one another.  Agape love is the pinnacle of love. It is the summit of love. In Matthew 22 vs 37-39(NIV), the Bible says,   37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ If we check the story of prodigal son in Luke 15 we will see the power of Agape. The son had demanded for his inheritance from his father. Though he got it, he eventually squanders them on wasteful living. He returns to his dad in repentance and was forgiven. His father asked the servants to treat him well, clean him up and gave him the place of honour. His elder brother felt that his dad had not treat him as well as he was treating this “bad son” and was offended. The response he got from his father was astonishing. Th
