Sure, you can love your child when he or she has just brought home a report card with straight "A's."

Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of br...ead, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, -This is my body that is for you.

For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
