LOVE ALONE HAS POWER

JOHN MILFORD TODD

When Christ Jesus was asked by the Pharisee lawyer to indicate the great commandment in the law, he answered by giving that marvelous summation of the Ten Commandments (Matt. 12: 37): "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." And he added: "The second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

Jesus' disciple John counseled (I John 4:7, 8): "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."

The Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, also defines God as Love and makes it clear that in order to demonstrate that we are born of this divine Love, we must be loving. Everyone responds to the power of Love reflected.
