Let Jesus be your guide!
On this Fifth Sunday in Eastertide, we have a renewed commandment of love. Jesus is clear that all who follow Him must abide by His commands. Our Gospel Portion for today is St. John 13:31-35, and we will concentrate on the following,
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, you also love one another.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
St. John 13:34-35
People will know we are Christians by our love. This concept was part of a children’s church song when I was growing up, and it will always be true because Jesus is quite clear about it in His Word!
For all time this is essential for all people. We improved the world around us by doing what Jesus said and did. Continuing with this line of thinking, Jesus is still living in the world by how we treat one another.
Yes, my sisters and brothers, there are many people who say they belong to Jesus, and that is between them and God. Our concern is whether, are showing our relationship with Jesus by how we treat others.
Do we love everyone as Jesus would?
We may remember the meaning of the letters WWJD, meaning, What Would Jesus Do? This filter of our actions will never lose its significance!
We are to make a difference in our world!
Make a difference today, tomorrow, and forever! Be Jesus, be Love and show the world who we belong to!
Enjoy the Eastertide and be encouraged!
