And now abide these three, faith, hope, love; but
the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:13 WESNT).
When Jesus walked the earth, there was something
unique and different about His message; it was characterised by these three
cardinal virtues: faith, hope, and love.
When He spoke, faith came alive in the hearers. He
introduced the Father to them and unveiled the Father’s will for their lives.
He let them know what God had done for them and how to walk in their divine
inheritance.
Jesus also gave the people hope through His
message; He made the future real and gave them a reason to believe in the
future.
His message also expressed and communicated the
love of God. Not only did He speak words of blessings to the people, He also
touched them and related to them with love. He helped them know that the Father
loved them, because of the way He (Jesus) loved them. He manifested “Liquid
love”—ever-flowing love. You felt it when you were in His presence. Even those
He reprimanded felt and experienced His love. He was love in motion.
That was what attracted even the little children to
Him; they ran to Him whenever they saw Him. The crowd wouldn’t stop thronging
Him; the Bible says, “…And the common people heard him gladly” (Mark 12:37).
People from everywhere came to Jesus, to hear Him, and be with Him, because in
His words, they heard and saw love. In His presence, they were comforted,
strengthened, filled with hope, and their faith came alive.
As a Christian or minister of the Gospel, if you
desire the kind of results Jesus had, then these three virtues should be an
awesome attraction in your life: faith, hope, and love. They must be evidently
expressed in your actions, words, character, and behavior. In ministering the
Gospel, let faith flow from you to your listeners. Inspire hope in their
hearts, and most of all, let them experience the love of Jesus, and know in
their hearts that He loves them unconditionally. Hallelujah!

Further Study: || Hebrews 11:6 But without faith
[it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that
he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. ||
|| Romans 5:2-5 By whom also we have access by
faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of
God. 3 And not only [so], but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that
tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our
hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. ||
|| Galatians 5:5-6 For we through the Spirit wait
for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision
availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. ||
