Outline

Intro: If you ever really made it, how would you celebrate?

I. ADJECTIVAL LOVE
"Hesed is a large word. No single word in our language is adequate to translate it, so we revert to the use of adjectives to bring out the distinctive quality and broad reach of this love." - Eugene Peterson

II. DERIVATIVE LOVE
"We are the Lord's Mephibosheths." - Dale Ralph Davis

III. COVENANTAL LOVE
"Hesed is one-way love. Love without an exit strategy." - Paul Miller

Takeaway: Love your enemies. Love the vulnerable.
