(John 13:34 NKJV) “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”
Love one another.
Jesus gave us a new commandment. He didn’t tell us to be sure to walk on water once per week. He didn’t tell us to be sure to part the seas on a regular basis. And He didn’t tell us to regularly turn water into wine.
Now, don’t get us wrong… these are all miraculous things. But even if we were able to perform these miracles, by the power of the Holy Spirit, on a regular basis, if we didn’t have love, we would be empty and the miracles would be meaningless.
Love is the ultimate gift that we have been given, so that we, in return, can give it to others.
Love conquers all. Love is patient, kind, humble, considerate, hopeful, generous and so much more. When we truly learn to love the way that Jesus taught us to love, it will change our lives and the lives of those around us.
Oh, and by the way, we need to note that Jesus told us that this was a new commandment, not a suggestion!
Love one another.
