Jesus revealed it and will continue to reveal it; in other words, through the Holy Spirit He will bring us even more deeply not only into the mystery of the name of God but also into the mystery of the love of God \u2013 the self-sacrificing love which suffers humiliation by every sinner. In Jesus is the fullness of the love of God. God is love incarnate. Today the word love is often abused as a synonym for egoism or impurity. The Greeks have three terms for love. The love which Jesus speaks about is called \u201c<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">agape<\/span>\u201d.
