LOVE PART 5
Friday 4 July 2025
"Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour"�
Our Friday reading will be from John 13:35
By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.���
~Today's sharing introduces us to A NEW DIMENSION about love.
~Our chosen text brings to light aspects of identity.
~According to this text, *the genuineness and seriousness of our Christianity becomes visible in the eyes of the world around us if we love one another.*�
~Love is presented as the distinguishing mark of Christ's followers (1 John 3:23).
~Under Mosaic law, it was common to teach about loving the Lord with all one's powers and loving one's neighbour as oneself (Leviticus 19:18; Deuteronomy 6:5).
~Jesus' own love and teaching deepen and transform these commands.
~We are commanded to love one another as Jesus had loved his disciples (John 13:1).
~If we are to relate this teaching to Christ's subsequent death, it becomes clear that his understanding of love for one another implies a love that is even willing to lose everything for another.���
Our Prayer Points for today include orphans, family projects, and those of us who have lost relatives and friends during the week. *Enjoy your day*�
