"Even As I Loved You…"

Even As I Loved You…”

Blessings folk!

John 13:34-35
34 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."


A new commandment.
Love OneAnother.

The world will know that we are His disciples by our love for OneAnother.

How do we do this?

Jesus gives us the answer in these verses.
Do you see it?

Even as I have loved you…”

We are to love OneAnother as Jesus loves us.
Without limit.
Without qualification.
Without agenda.
Wtihout...you get the idea.

Jesus manifests grace in love.
Jesus manifests mercy in love.

We are to love likewise.
We are to walk in love as Jesus did, giving ourselves up for OneAnother, sacrificing.

Ephesians 5:2
2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.


We will see more later.
For now, if God loved us this much, should we not love OneAnother?

1 John 4
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

Do it.
Love.
