1st Corinthians 13:5-6
If you have your Bible, please turn to 1st Corinthians, chapter 13. We're in a series on 1st Corinthians and today we want to talk about The Love Challenge.
As many of you know, the tallest mountain on earth is located in the Himalayas. It's between the border of Nepal to the south and China to the north. It's called Mount Everest. It's 29,029 feet above sea level. Serious mountain climbers look at that because it's the tallest as that is the be all-end all of mountains to climb. I was reading, and it said, there have been about 4,000 people over the years that have gone to the summit of Mount Everest. Just to get to base camp, which most of the people go on the Nepal side, the south side, is 17,598 feet. You know, you really can only do Mount Everest in May because that is really the key month that people try and scale the mountain because any other month it really doesn't work. Mount Everest is a daunting and dangerous endeavor to try and climb to the top because of altitude sickness, insufficient oxygen, extreme cold, high winds and avalanches. So many people have died because of avalanches. The weather is unpredictable. There's only so much amount of daylight. You can't be in transit there to get to the top and have the sun go down on you, because then you're dead meat. If you saw the movie, Everest, you saw how brutal that is. I don't know why anyone would want to do it personally, but you see people do that. They come back, and they have frostbite. They lose fingers and toes and all sorts of things. The bodies of those who have died are still there because you can't get in there to remove those bodies. Mount Everest, needless to say, is the ultimate challenge for a mountain climber.
Now, we want to look today at the ultimate challenge of love. We've been talking about love. We've entitled this series The Greatest of These is Love, because verse ...
