About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of receiving love in order to give love, highlighting its significance in human interaction and the Christian community.
Most people begin life in such a circumstance where they are getting primed to love. We have to receive love before we can give love. Most babies come into the world and arrive in loving arms. That mother gets an extra measure of love stoked in her as that baby comes to her breast. She is giving herself in love and so from the start we humans are gaining something of the love we will return to the next generation after us. It is a common grace of homes all over the world that love is received and then given out and the cycle can go like that from generation to generation. What is true of this most basic element of human interaction... this glue of love that binds and stimulates anything healthy in any society... is supernaturally true of the Chrisitan life and community. We have to receive love in order to give love.
