How He Loves

"A new command I give you: Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:34-35

Jesus said that His followers would be known by their love.

Jesus said, "As I have loved you..."

"...You must love one another."

"...By this all men will know that you are my disciples."

In John 18 Peter denies Jesus 3 times, but in John 21 Jesus reinstates Peter.  Why?  Because He loved him...Just like Jesus loves you!

The illustration Jason Ganze used at Chase Oaks Church this week was Hershey's Kisses and Sour Pickles.  He reminded us of 1 Corinthians 13 and encouraged us to be sweet to someone this week.  I think we should try to be sweet to someone everyday!

With summer in the air, I am looking forward to putting this difficult spring behind us...How He Loves by David Crowder Band is the perfect anthem for this summer!

"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." Hebrews 6:19
