John 13:34
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”
What it means
On the night before his cross, Jesus gives his people a fresh command: love one another. What makes it new is the measure, we are to love as he has loved us, with a love that stoops, serves, forgives, and finally dies for the beloved. This is no vague sentiment but the family likeness of heaven. As we receive his love, it overflows toward each other, and the watching world sees whose we are by how tenderly we carry one another.
Read it, pray it, live it
On The Living Bread you can read the whole chapter, save this verse, ask Simon to explain it, pray it over your life, and share it with someone who needs it today.
