SYMPATHY EXTENDED
Jimmie Knifley, 86, of Campbellsville died March 14, 2025. He professed faith in Christ and was a member of Mannsville Christian Church. Jimmie graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in theology from Cincinnati Bible Seminary. Afterward, he served as a local minister and was one of the church planters of Mannsville Christian and Greensburg Christian. He was actively involved in Men for Christ for about fifty years.

Food For Thought
As we begin to prepare for the upcoming Easter season, are we following Christ’s commandment to Love others as HE has loved us?

John 13:34 I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another. Let us now look to 1 Corinthians 13 to better understand what ‘loving like Christ’ should look like in our lives.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 4“Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy, Love does not boast, Love is not proud. 5 Love does not dishonor others, Love is not self-seeking, Love is not easily angered, Love keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails.

So now I would ask that you re-read these verses in 1 Corinthians 13, but in the place of ‘Love” insert “Jesus”. I believe you will find that in doing so you will see why we are told in 1 John 4:8 that “God is Love.”

Now go back to 1 Corinthians 13 and this time in the place of “Love” insert “Your Name”. How does that sit with you? Are we as members of Christ’s Church showing others Christ’s ‘Love” both as individuals and as a body of believers?

In April when we look toward Easter and remember how Christ’s perfect love led him to make the ultimate sacrifice for each of us, I pray focusing on 1 Corinthians 13 this month prepares us to be truly thankful.

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES

“But the kind of love that God created and demonstrated is a costly one because it involves sacrifice and presence. It’s a love that operates more like a sign language than being spoken outright.” – Bob Goff

“Love is worthless unless it acts out, unless it’s expressed in deed and behavior.” – Dr. David Jeremiah

“Those in the circle of Christ had no doubt of his love; those in our circles should have no doubt about ours.” – Max Lucado

“God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.” – Augustine
