So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples." (John 13:34, 35 NLT)
Are we proving to the world that we are disciples of Christ? Are we showing each other the kind of love that Christ loves us with? Are we showing the world that kind of love? Are we reaching out and being the hands and the feet of Christ? These are serious questions that we seriously need to ask of ourselves. We need to answer the question, what does it mean to love like Christ? We need to define that, then we need to go and do it.
On June 25th, 1967, the Beatles first introduced to the world "All You Need Is Love." Did this song nail it on the head? At first it seems so, but at the end of each verse, there is the lyrics, "It's easy." The honest truth is that loving all people at all times is rather difficult. But it is what Jesus calls us to do. We need to fight ourselves and our instincts to constantly show our love off to the world!
