Love is such an overused word -- don't
we "love" hot dogs and apple pie, and "love" going to the
beach? But love in the Bible has a much richer meaning,
particularly when applied to God's feeling toward his people. Max Picard, a
French existential philosopher from the 1930s, wrote about what he called, “the
flight from God.”
He comments on the Biblical truth that every person, every
generation, every culture, is in an active, rebellious, breakneck sprint away
from the presence, power, and provision of God. The Bible describes God’s love
for us, a kind of love that goes far beyond the greatest human capacity.
