By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." To me, this explains it all, we are not only to love, but as Jesus loved, when we love each other we are expressing that feeling of unconditional love Christ has for us. It shows that we belong to Him and are obedient to His Word. The New Commandment reminds us that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, He paid the price for us with His life, that in itself shows the depth of love Christ has for his people especially the born again believers. In the Old Covenant or old laws, sacrifices of animals and burnt offerings were use to atone for sin or unclean acts, but thanks be to God, Jesus Christ was the sacrifice for our sins. He paid that price long ago all we have to do is love and obey Him and claim the victory. If you love the Lord your God with all your heart, then you can love one another, you can be a living example of Jesus' love. Love is not just a feeling, it is action, giving of your time, showing others you care by listening, by devoting quality time with and for others who might be less fortunate than yourself or giving a good word to someone who don't know much about Jesus. Love is constant, it is a small word with many different yet great meanings, but the love Jesus speaks about here is that 'Agape love,' the spiritual love that associates with God and christians, that love you so freely give and ask for nothing in return. God is love, seek Him, love your neighbour as yourself, love one another. L - Let us O - Obey His commands and V - Victory will be ours now and through E - Eternity. People in general like to be part of the in crowd, No one wants to be different or to be separated from what the popular crowd is doing, because of the fear of being ridiculed or rejected. However Christians ought to be different from the rest. We should be proud to be Christians, and not to be afraid to be noticed for it. Jesus showed us this by HIs example, when He was not afraid in front of the Pharisees and Scribes. We ought to follow by HIs example

The Roman governor, Pilate, found that Jesus had done nothing wrong. Yet, he authorized Jesus` crucifixion to please the crowd. Can you explain why people put popularity above doing what is right? ![]()
