The Command: Walk in love by prioritizing communal peace and mutual up-building over your personal freedom (Christian liberty).
Grief, for Christians, is met with honesty and a confident expectation of God's comfort, drawing strength from Jesus, our guide in sorrow and our source of unwavering grace.
