Reflection questions:
How does fully grasping the depth of Christ’s sacrifice challenge the way you define love in your life?
In what ways does your understanding of Christ’s love reveal areas where you have been unwilling to sacrifice
How does the command to love as Christ loved challenge your natural instincts of self-preservation and personal boundaries?
When have you felt that loving others as Christ loved you required a genuine dying to yourself? How did you respond?
What aspects of Christ’s sacrificial love do you struggle to model in your own relationships, and why do you think that is?
How do you reconcile the tension between your personal comfort and the needs of those around you? What role does love play in resolving that tension?
When you consider your response to seeing someone in need, how do you decide whether or not to act? What inner motivations guide your choices?
What does it reveal about your faith when love remains merely a concept or feeling rather than an action?
In moments when you have chosen not to act on someone’s need, how has that decision impacted your relationship with God and others?
How does the state of your heart reflect the way you respond to others’ needs? In what ways is it difficult for you to “open” your heart to them?
What does it mean to you to believe in Christ’s name deeply, beyond intellectual assent, and how does that belief shape how you love others?
