Love One Another

Verses of the day - Matthew 22:36-39 (NRSV)

'Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?'  He said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind." This is the greatest and first commandment. And the second is like it: "You shall love your neighbour as yourself."

In chapter 10 of my third book, Jesus speaks to us about loving one another.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

I call My dear children to be servants to one another.  At the Last Supper, I became a servant to My disciples by washing their feet.  I did this as an example.  Just as I served My original twelve disciples, I also desire you to serve your fellow brothers and sisters.  Everyone is brothers and sisters in Christ.  Anytime you see someone in need, stop to help them.  Just as you serve them, you are also serving Me.  Love one another as I have loved you. Always be there for one another.

Whether we are related by blood or not, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ.  We are all children of God.  He loves us so much that He gave up His life for us.  At the last supper, He gave us an example as to how He desires us to serve one another.  If we keep our eyes open, we will be able to see how we can help one another on this journey called life.  It could be as simple as helping someone carry an item or spending time with a person who is by themself.  When we serve one another in life, we are also serving Jesus because He lives inside each of us.
