All of Me shows a great deal of love, this song shows many positive ideas about love. The ideas about love that All of Me portrays is that the performer John Legend loves this woman with a passion, even with all of her flaws. In the song the aspect of love is being shown when he says, “Love your curves and all your edges / All your perfect imperfections.” It is also being portrayed in this song by him loving this woman so much that when she drives him crazy and when they fight he takes it, because he is not just looking for the good in a relationship. This aspect of love is shown when he says, “What would I do without your smart mouth? Drawing me in, and you kicking me out / You’ve got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down / What’s …show more content…

The gospel “A Woman Washes Jesus’ Feet,” exemplifies agape love which is what I feel All of Me shows. Agape love is about unconditional love and accepting everything and all from the one you love, this is the highest form of love and that is what All of Me shows and the gospel. The reason why I think that this gospel works for agape love is because this woman who everyone thinks is a sinner and a bad person came to Jesus and washed his feet with her tears, dried his feet with her hair, and poured perfume on his feet. In the bible is states, “When the Pharisee who asked Jesus to come to his house saw this, he thought to himself, “If Jesus were a prophet, he would know that the woman touching him is a sinner! Jesus turned towards the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman?” When I came into your house, you gave me know no water for my feet, but she washed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair. You gave me no kiss of greeting, but she has been kissing my feet since I came in. You did not put oil on my head, but she poured perfume on my feet. I tell you that her many sins are forgiven, so she shown great love. Jesus said to the woman, “because you believed, you are saved from your sins. Go in peace.” The song reflects the love described in the gospel by John Legend showing unconditional love and by him not caring about the sins that she has

    My first song I´ve chosen is Sean McGee, song titled My Story. Mainly the song is about him facing different struggles, obstacles, and all the horrible things and situations he´s been in throughout his life.

    “Had me at Hello” by Olivia Holt: This song pairs well with Act 1 Scene 5, the scene where Romeo walks into the Capulet's’ party looking for Rosaline but he spots Juliet and instantly falls in love with her. The verse “you don’t have to try to hard, you already have my heart, you don’t got a thing to prove, i’m already into you” relates to when Romeo then went up and talked to Juliet and is instantly in love with Romeo. When Juliet says “for saints have hands that pilgrims hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers kiss” she is basically encouraging Romeo to make the first move and kiss her, that proves that Juliet already has fallen in love with him.

  • Agape Love In Christianity

    430 Words  | 1 Pages

    Love is one of the most important elements in Christianity. Although there are many different definitions of the word love, people use the word to mean a strong desire or liking, romance, benevolence, giving, or even sexual intercourse. In Christianity, the word love includes serving the welfare of others. Such love is often called an agape love. Some people often recognize it as “Christian love.” Agape love, in the Greek language, means to act consciously and to choose to love someone without expecting anything in return from them, even though the result of the action may bring inconvenience, discomfort, or even death to the giver (Love Feast (Agape), n.d.). In other words, agape love is also a sacrificial love. This love is not an emotional or impetuous love but rather a more purposeful love. This kind of love is the kind Jesus referred to in Matthew 22:39, and it is the kind he wants us to apply to our daily life by loving others.
