The Reason For The Season
Ecclesiastes 3:1 3 To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:
From 1960 to 1980, the divorce rate more than doubled
Though the divorce rate seems to have decreased and stabilized, it
is with a skewed look at the data. The study does not take
into account more couples co-habitat now. Men and women are
waiting longer to get married and it does not ask if a married
person is on first marriage or consecutive marriages.
W. Bradford Wilcox is the director of the National Marriage
Project at the University of Virginia and a senior fellow at the
Institute for American Values. See
If you look at the magazine counter of any store you’ll find
numerous novels and magazines devoted to romance and love.
Television shows today show a perverted idea of love; shows like
Desperate housewives, Army wives, Married with children, Ellen
Degenerate and Will and Grace.
Many people seek to be loved and accepted. We are born with a
need for love.
Love is mentioned in the bible (573 xs NKJ) & 429 KJ times.
I contend that the real reason for this season is Love.
First what is Love:
Some say Love is Blind
We find In
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NKJV)4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails…………………
Jesus said to the disciples in John 15:17 (NKJV)17 These things I command you, that you love one another
What about you? Do you feel unloved? The enemy will tell you no one loves you. God loves you. We see in Romans 5:8 (NKJV)
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
A very familiar verse says it all. You may have learned this verse when you were small and still felt loved.
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten, Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV)3 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:
What Season are you in? Are you in a season of hope or despair?
Do you want to know true Love. Make this Easter season the
Season you experience true love. The Love of the Father.
Jesus said: in John 14:6 (NKJV)
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
