Service driven by Love
Many of us have had the experience of a loved one leaving us for a long time or leaving us forever. ... John 14 vs 34 – 35 record this for us:
‘Love one another, as I have loved you so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another”
Let us pray ;-
Open our eyes Lord, that we may see you
Open our ears Lord, that we may hear from you
Open our hearts Lord, that we may accept you
And so may the words of my mouth and the meditation of our hearts find favour with you Lord, our Strength and our Redeemer. ...
‘Love one another, as I have loved you so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another”
A question that came to my mind as I reflected on this passage of scripture was ‘why did Jesus find it necessary to give His disciples this command? ... They witnessed on a daily basis how Jesus demonstrated His love for others. ... He did not only want them to love one another, but He also wanted them to love others as He had loved them. ... Jesus set for them a standard by which their love would be measured. ... How did Jesus love His disciples? ...
o Very often our love for one another is determined by what we can derive from the relationship. So often underlying our love for one another is our happiness that we are seeking. ...
o Many of us will love one another providing we are not asked to extend ourselves. ... There was o limit to what His love would give to where it would go.
