S - SCRIPTURE: John 13:34,35 A new command I give : Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this shall everyone, know that you are my disciples, that
you show love one to another.
O - OBSERVATION: This isn’t a causal suggestion by Jesus, He really wants us to get this, that’s why He uses the word “love” four times. He says this in several different ways to make the point, loving others is a Christ ordained way of showing that we are His disciples.
A 0 APPLICATION: Jesus says “ even as I have loved you” so shall you love one another. How did He love us? Even unto the point of death on the cross. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates
His own love for us in this: while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us! How beautiful is that, in John 15,He says, greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his fellowman. Jesus did exactly that, but not only for us but for the sins of the whole world!!! God’s love for His people is indeed vast beyond all measure as the song “How deep the Fathers love for us” says! God is the Author of love, no one loves better than Him, for He is love! If your still not convinced
read 1 John 4:7-21.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your everlasting and overwhelming love for us, it is beyond measure and comprehension. Teach us simply to humbly and graciously accept it, and to share it at every opportunity! In Jesus Name, Amen
