Topic: Love Is Sharing
BIBLE Reading: – John 15:9-14
The ability to love selflessly and sacrificially does not come naturally. God’s kind of love which is unconditional, selfless and sacrificial is supernatural and can only be expressed by those who have been themselves, beneficiaries of the Agape love of God. The love of Jesus for us is as great as the love of His father for Him and He wants us to experience and continue in this great love.
Obedience to God is the clearest indicator that we love Him. Not to walk in obedience and yet claim to love God is the height of hypocrisy. The Bible reminds us that we cannot claim to love God whom we have not seen when we cannot claim to love God whom we have not seen when we fail to show love to our fellow man whom we can see. Verse 11 gives us the secret of the fullness of joy.
Human love which basically operates on the basis of reciprocity usually expects the other person to act first is considered an option and not a duty. God on the other hand commands us to love others as He has loved us. Consequently we are only doing our duty as obedient children when we love others as ourselves and this command is not limited to a particular day in the year.
Thought: “Greater love hath no man than this; that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
