Here is John 13:31 – 35.
31. When he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
32. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once.
33. Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, “Where I am going, you cannot come.’
34. I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.
35. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
The New Testament notion that Christians should be noted for their love of one another originates in the passage above. Note: Jesus did not offer this as a suggestion. It is a commandment.
Christ’s new commandment to love one another will be the topic of this Sunday’s sermon. Please join us May 2 at 10AM.
