1 John 4:7
“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.”

Chess: "English muffin"
๐๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ก ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐๐๐ข๐ง
An English muffin is a small, round, flat bread—not sweet, split in half and toasted so the inside gets those little nooks and crannies that hold butter or jam beautifully.
ME: —Could the English muffin be a noble and subtle down to earth reminder of 1John 4:7?
COPILOT: —Absolutely, Jorge — and the beauty is that it works precisely because it’s humble.
You’re pointing to something that the early Christian writers loved:
ordinary things becoming quiet parables.
Bread, water, seeds, lamps, soil — all everyday objects turned into reminders of divine reality.
So yes, the English muffin can carry 1 John 4:7 in a way that’s noble, subtle, and grounded.
How an English muffin echoes 1 John 4:7 (“Beloved, let us love one another…”)
1. It’s simple, not grand — like love in action
An English muffin isn’t fancy.
It’s not a croissant trying to impress anyone.
It’s ordinary nourishment, the kind you share without ceremony.
Love in 1 John is exactly that:
not dramatic, not performative — just given.
2. It’s meant to be split and shared
You don’t eat an English muffin whole.
You open it, revealing the interior full of “nooks and crannies.”
Love works the same way:
it requires opening, revealing, making space for others.
3. It receives warmth and becomes better for it
A muffin untoasted is fine.
But when it meets heat, it transforms — fragrant, textured, alive.
Love in 1 John is the same:
we love because we have been warmed first.
The heat comes from God; we simply pass it on.
4. It holds whatever goodness you place on it
Butter, honey, jam — the muffin doesn’t resist.
It receives and carries sweetness.
Love does that too:
it becomes a vessel for whatever grace is given.
5. It’s a daily reminder, not a ceremonial one
You don’t need a feast.
You just need breakfast.
1 John 4:7 is like that:
love one another — today, in the small things.
The quiet parable
So yes, the English muffin becomes a small, earthy sermon:
Love is simple.
Love is shared.
Love is warmed by a greater fire.
Love holds sweetness.
Love is daily.
A reminder that the sacred often hides in the ordinary — even in a toasted round of bread on a Tuesday morning in Bebedero.
