#1,019: The Command to Love One Another
Manage episode 423549357 series 2800784
The identifying mark of Christ's followers is not in how we vote, what we wear, or the causes we embrace. Scripture may inform God’s desires in all of those things, but according to Jesus, the identifying mark of His followers is to love them with the same love we have received from God.
Main Points:
1. In the New Testament, as Jesus was preparing His disciples for his departure and their ministry that would follow, he gave them something new. A new idea. A new concept. A new way of living.
2. They weren’t to just love others, as they were so determined. You see, we can be very selective in our love for others. We love some a lot, we love others a little, and with some, we might just go through the motions.
3. Jesus said, “Love as I loved you.” These disciples would think back over the three years they had spent with Jesus. They experienced love, acceptance, kindness, mercy, and forgiveness. This love they had received, they were to emulate. They were to give it to others.
Today’s Scripture Verses:
John 13:34-35 - “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.”
