The Greatest Commandments, according to Jesus • Both of the greatest commandments call us to love and, in doing so, to be holy.
The 5 Kinds of Love • The 5 kinds of love are: • Companionship • Intimate Love • Family Love • Friendship • Charity
1. COMPANIONSHIP (HETAIREIA) • Love for a classmate, or a friend • You share common interest(s) with the other • Share common goals • There is no emotional closeness • Greeks called this love.
2. INTIMATE LOVE (EROS) • Love in the sexual sense is a passionate love, pleasurable, spontaneous and instinctive. • It is the epitome of all emotions towards someone – involving physical, spiritual and emotional.
3. FAMILY LOVE (STORGE) • A bond between children and parents. • This emotion comes from within, it is not earned. Example: • God’s love for us (he gave us Jesus who suffered and died for our sins)
4. FRIENDSHIP (PHILIA) • Warm and tender affection felt between two friends • It is mutual and supportive. Example: • Jesus had a strong friendship with Lazarus. The shortest sentence ever: “He Wept”.
5. CHARITY (AGAPE) • An unconditional love – doing something without expecting anything in return. • Agapedoes not mean you have to like the person nor know the person – it is a gesture and offer of help. Example: • Jesus said, “love one another as I have loved you.” (John 13:34) Click on image to see video
