4.2.4 The Power of Love
There will be faith, hope, and love, and the biggest among those is love. 1 Corinthian 13:13. Love never fails because it rules the world. The fourth lesson is
about love. It is described in the novel that Marguerite teaches Eddie that life has to end but love does not. She tells that lost love is still love. It takes a different form
173. Although the person he loves has gone, yet he still has the memory of himher. When he keeps the memory, it means that he keeps the person that he loves with him
too. Love always supportive, loyal, hopeful, and trusting, that what 1Corinthian 13:
7 says. But more on that, 1Corinthian 13: 1-13 explain much about love. It is because in love, there is no hate, jealousy, boastful, selfish, and so on. Even love is the greatest
among hope and faith verse 13. Therefore, love is best described in this chapter of the Bible.
Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not
provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all
things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is the thing that rules the world and our lives. There are many teachings in Bible about love. Jesus Himself has shown His love for humankind by crucifying Himself so
that we, human, no longer live within our sins that keep us away from God 1 John 4: 8-10.
Eddie’s life will never be the same after the death of his wife. He thinks that when Marguerite dies, she takes the love in his life with her that leaves no love on
earth 173. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
LOVE, LIKE RAIN, can nourish from above, drenching couples with a soaking joy. But sometimes, under the angry heat of life, love dries on the
surface and must nourish from below, tending to its roots, keeping itself alive. 164
The feeling of loosing the one that he loves makes him fails to see that he still has
much love from people around him. He fails to see that Marguerite leaves him bunches of love when she leaves him. But Marguerite tells him that life has to end, but love
does not 173. Because when all things disappear, love endures. 1 Corinthian 13: 13
