A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
John 13:34-35
The sooner that we learn to love; the sooner we will be able to walk in the commandments that God has given us… Love is an essential part of our everyday life and daily affairs… Walking in love, we can build relationships instead of tearing people down… Love is the key to opening the doors of people’s hearts around you; which therefore will allow them to receive the word that God has placed in you to provide for them… Love can be the difference between offending someone and providing constructive criticism that is received… This is why Christ provides a new commandment for us in the gospel of John… Did you know that there are actually 624 commandments in the bible? You have the original ten given by the Lord to Moses, then 613 that were adopted under Moses as the Mosaic Law, and last but not least the commandment found in today’s scripture lesson… Jesus Christ teaches the disciples about the importance of love and abounding compassion… This commandment does not void the previous ones recorded in the Bible; it simply sums up how all these things can be accomplished… When you love you won’t steal or kill; when you walk in love you won’t covet your neighbor's things nor disrespect your mother and father… Ill-will, wickedness, malice, or resentment cannot live in a garden when a seed of love is planted… Love Is Required!
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
