JAN. 20 – JOHN 15:12-15

1/20            JOHN 15:12-15

12 This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.

13 There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

14 You are my friends if you do what I command.

15 I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn’t confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.

DIRECTIVE

Jesus’ directive to us is to love one another. 

His call is to serve and care for each other.

His expectation is that we lay down our lives for our friends. 

This is a big command, that is ignored by most to their peril. 

We reap what we sow. 

Be careful to love like Jesus loves.
