Easter 2019 – The Law of Love
The Gospel of Christ is a story of love, unconditional and sacrificial, which was a constant source of tension between Jesus and the Teachers of the Law.
Our journey through Holy Week will look at how Jesus unpacks this “new commandment” to love in some of his last words to his disciples (John 15-17) ahead of his impending death. As always, his teachings are profound and personal, and are relevant to us both as individuals and as a body, the Church. They manifest in eight differing but intensely human ways, which we will unpack together, and so understand more fully the nature of a “Law of Love”.
