"Let brotherly love continue." (Hebrews 13:1 KJV)
"As soon as Judas left the room, Jesus said, "The time has come for the Son of Man to enter into his glory, and God will be glorified because of him. And since God receives glory because of the Son, he will soon give glory to the Son. Dear children, I will be with you only a little longer. And as I told the Jewish leaders, you will search for me, but you can't come where I am going. 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 13:31-35 NLT)
Wow, that was hard to type! I couldn't help but think of the post from yesterday, the 'give' and 'receive' that Jesus mentions over and over, in so many ways; it just made everything so clear and incredibly easy to understand. Our obedience brings blessings; the more we love, the more we are loved...
"I am writing to remind you, dear friends, that we should love one another. This is not a new commandment, but one we have had from the very beginning. Love means doing what God has commanded us, and he has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning." (2 John 1:5-6 NLT)
