Love, love, love. love..... Jesus talks a lot about love, demonstrates love through the way he lived, the way he interacted with those around him. Love is his theme and through his life, Jesus shows who God is, how much God loves his people.
This week we are going to talk about love, but the passage is not so much about God's love for us as it is about our responsibility for those around us."Love one another" Jesus says, "If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love. this is my commandment"
Suddenly, it seems that there is a job for me, work for me in my salvation, a command I need to keep. I wonder what happened to grace. I thought it was all about grace and that Jesus had done it all.
We'll struggle with this conflict on Sunday morning, struggle with what this command to love means in the light of Jesus sacrifice for us.
