"the idea that God is love is certainly not new with Jesus. in fact, it probably wasn't even exclusive to the Judeo-Christian tradition. other men at other times in other parts of the world have thought or hoped or wished that the really REAL, the living God, might actually love them. but Jesus added a note of confidence. he didn't say that maybe God was love, or that it would be nice if God were love. he said, GOD IS LOVE-period. but there is more to the message of Jesus. he insisted that his Father is crazy with love, that God is a kooky God who can scarcely bear to be without us."
what a relief.
