Love One Another

I am giving you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too are to love one another. By this everyone will know that you are My Disciples if you have love and unselfish concern for one another. John 13:34-35 AMP

On the night before his crucifixion, Jesus says “love one another” to his Disciples not once, but three times. 

Jesus goes even further and tells them how to love another – “as I have loved you.”

How did Jesus love?

Lavishly. Extravagantly. Ultimately, he laid down his life for the sins of the world.   

His love was active. He didn’t sit in the temple waiting for people to find their way to him. He sought them out. He fed people when they were hungry, healed them when they were sick, and calmed raging storms said storms scared the crap out of people. He celebrated with people and he wept with them. He loved them when- and wherever he encountered them, which more often than not was usually at their point of need. The Disciples had been with him for three years, they saw firsthand how radically inclusive his love was. He chided them on more than one occasion about admonishing him about loving those society deemed unloveable, unworthy, disposable, or otherly. {Clay Rivers}

In our lives and businesses,  let’s start extending the love of Christ to everyone!
