1 Corinthians 13-Love never dies.
2 Kings 7.3-20- Let some men go and take five of the horses left behind.
Jonah 2-I was as far down as a body can go...Yet you pulled me up from the grave alive, O GOD, my God!
Tobit 14.11b-12a-and he received an honorable funeral
Psalm 145.10-18-Your kingdom will never end, and you will rule forever.

A "For Sale" sign. Call a number-talk to a person-buy some property. God's love isn't for sale though. Doesn't need to be. It never gets sold. It's always around. God's Love never dies. God's Love is Jesus. Always alive. But Jesus did die. Jesus died on that cross years ago. But not his Love. His Love never died. It lived right in and through death. God's love went to the enemies camp and lived. Allowed Love to plunder the enemy of death. Allowed Love and Life to live off of Death. And Jesus now lives - raised from the dead- forever. Then Jonah- as far down as you can go. -- Lower that whale shit even! -- But God's Love didn't die with Jonah. God's love pulled Jonah from the grave -- Alive! - O God, my God! And when the faithful die-- the Love of God lives on- at an honorable funeral we see death yet life lives on in Love. God's kingdom will never end. God's Love will never end either. God's Love need not be For Sale-- He gives it now and forever-- freely-- Now that's Grace!

Lord, let me freely give you Love to my world and the kingdom in which you place me this day. -- Amen
