John 13:34-35:
'So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”'
Day 13 – Love made visible
As Jesus walked the earth there was one thing that was evident in everything that he did. Love!
Jesus taught people, healed people, delivered people, died on the cross and rose again. All this was motivated by his love for the Father and his love for people.
As Jesus was reaching the end of his ministry on earth, he shared with the disciples this secret ingredient that would identify them and us as belonging to him.
Jesus commands that we love one another. He said that this would be the game changer to us carrying on the work he had begun.
He also showed and taught how we can love each other. Jesus made the full extent of his love visible by being available and by serving his disciples as he simply washed their feet.
Think on it:
How can I serve my family, friends and church this week as a way to show God’s love and my love for them?
