The constant theme I see in this weeks readings is one that can be found throughout Paul's epistles - that theme is love. In chapter 13 Paul presents the thought that when we walk in love, we fulfill the law. That makes perfect sense to me. I compare it to the crucifixion because in my mind, when Jesus was crucified it was done because of love. You can insert John 3:16 right there and it says it perfectly. God loved the world so He sent Jesus to the cross, and when Jesus died on that cross He fulfilled the law for us to repair that gap between us and God. So I agree with Paul completely, especially in the sense of the crucifixion, God is love and that love fulfilled the law once for all eternity.
