Scripture lesson: John 15:9-17 Love one another
Time to reflect: vs 12 is an important one because we are encouraged to love others at the same level as Christ – which is extremely sacrificial. This is not intended to be an abstract, good feeling kind of love, but a practical, concrete form of caring.
Moving through the day: Who do you need to make some sacrifice to help. Pray for strength to be the caring person you are called to be.
"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other.
