Radical Love, Reconciliation, and the Royal Wedding
From Christ and Pop Culture:
“In 1 Corinthian 13, Paul is writing to the church at Corinth to help them work through how to marry two different cultures in their budding congregation—Jewish and Greek— and reminds them that love is not self-seeking, that it “always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” Many things may fail—knowledge, tongues, prophecies—but love outlasts them all. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are a testimony to the power of love to redeem all things, even the most difficult and painful of histories, when there is a willingness to face the future together in solidarity.
It is only through the redemptive love of Christ that we know what true love really is and what it really requires to love your neighbor as yourself. I long for the day the church publicly displays that love for the world to see, just as we witnessed early Saturday morning through the blessed union of a royal and his beautiful bride.”
