Love one Another
This was a new commandment given to us by Jesus to Love one another as He loves us (Jn13:34); Lets look at this more closely, How much did Jesus the Son and God the Father love us did we deserve that Love ? God loves us so much that he sent his Son Jesus as a Sacrifice for our Sin; did we deserve this love NO we were dead in our sin but by the grace of God He loves the sinner but not the sin.
Since the sin of Adam man had been separated from God, but because God loved us so much He gave us Jesus as a living sacrifice to right the wrong done by Adam so we could once again come into the very presence of God. We did nothing to deserve this love.
Jesus commanded us to Love each other has He Loved us, He gave up everything, He came down to earth from Heaven was beaten, whipped, His beard ripped from His face, He was mocked and reject by those He loved even God His Father rejected Him because He had our sin upon Him, He was crucified, pierced and died for our transgressions, then descended into hell, at this time He was cut off from His Father, This is just a vague picture of what Jesus went through for his Love for us.
Now he commanded us to Love one another as he Loved us, this just doesn’t mean our friends and family, it means everyone we come into contact with, I remember years ago someone knocked on my door looking for my neighbours who were Italian, and had just a few days before moved back to Italy, it was pouring down with rain, 10:30pm and he had travel 200 miles for a surprise visit I asked him in made him a coffee and offered him a bed for the night, Next day after making him some breakfast bid him farewell and he went on his way. My friends and family said I was Stupid letting a stranger into my home, but as we drunk our coffee the night before I prayed and asked God for direction in this situation and as I did I felt a inner peace so I knew I was under the protection of God, also there are no strangers when we are in Christ just people we haven’t met yet. We need to have unconditional Love for our fellow man, alright I wouldn’t do this with every Tom, Dick and Harry that comes to my door but if God tells me its ok I will. See we need to love each other as God loves us.
Love without boundaries not just to those we know but to everyone we come into contact with.
Remember Christ is in us and we are in Christ so we should have the heart of God within us so we should have a Love without limits.
