JOHN 13:31-35
Jesus gave his disciples this new commandment, love one another just as I loved you, Christians must have a special love for each other, a brotherly love. This love must be fervent; it must be visible to others, because it is by this love that others will know that we are Jesus’ disciples. This love will be the proof that truly we are his disciples. When other people see our love for each other, they will be attracted to our fellowship; they will want to become part of our fellowship. When they see our love, they will understand how great Jesus’ love is for them. Love is an attitude that reveals itself in action. We can show love to others, by helping when It’s not convenient, by giving when it hurts, by devoting energy to others welfare rather than our own, by absorbing hurts from others without complaining or fighting back. Do you love as Jesus loves you?
This love must be fervent; it must be visible to others, because it is by this love that others will know that we are Jesus’ disciples.
PRAYER: Lord gives me the grace to love others as you love me in Jesus name.
