Life-giving Love

 

“A new command I give you: Love one another.”

—John 13:34

There’s something extraordinary about deeply devoted love. It has a unique healing power. People who find themselves in the darkest of situations can begin to see a glimmer of hope when love floods into their lives.

Jesus commanded us—those who believe in Him and follow Him—to extend His love enthusiastically. Notice what He said in 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.”

So, we have a new command. Let’s burst into this day ready, willing, and able to extend God-breathed love to those we meet, particularly our brothers and sisters in Christ.
