Weddings are often a time for us to think about the topic of LOVE! And at many wedding ceremonies, the “love chapter” from 1 Corinthians 13 is read. When we understand the cultural context to this famous chapter of our Bible, we discover that Paul’s letter about what love looks like was not addressed to newlyweds, but rather, to a church community. While most students may not be thinking much of marriage at this age, what they can (and should) do is consider the type of person they are becoming today. The question is not "Will I be a great boyfriend, girlfriend, or spouse someday?”, but rather, “Am I becoming a more loving person today?”

Why do people read the Bible? Some people read the Bible out of religious duty, while others read the Bible because their parents or authority figures have told them to. Some read the Bible to intensely study the history of Israel and claims of Christ and some people have no clue why they read their Bible. It’s difficult to stick to the habit of reading the Bible when we do not have a clear “why” to reading the Bible. Tonight, we will highlight that the entire Bible anticipates, highlights, and builds its’ foundation on Jesus and that the best “Why” for understanding the Bible is to get to know Jesus and begin a relationship with Him.
