In this Unit, students come to underdstand more deeply what it means that God is Love. Jesus brings the revelation of God’s love to its ultimate and unconditional fulfillment by proclaiming the unconditional love of God, by defining love as agapē, and modeling for us loving action in the world. The most detailed illustration of God’s unconditionally loving nature might be found in Jesus’ Parable of the Prodigal Son. The ultimate expression of Jesus’ unconditional love is His self-sacrifice at the end of His earthly mission.
