A Love Worth Sharing
Someone once asked me, “Luis, why don’t you talk more about the things God is against? You know - all of the hot-button issues.” I kind of chuckled, because isn’t this so true of us today? We want to draw a line in the sand with what we believe, and what we don’t believe, so that everyone knows where we stand.
I agree that we ought to be moral people, who listen to God’s clear teachings in the Bible. We do our best to live them out in our own lives. Yet I think the best way to show the true character of God is not by screaming the things that we are against, but rather, sharing His endless, unconditional love and power.
John 13:34-35 says, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
This week, think about who in your life needs to experience the love of Christ. Who needs to hear about the kind of love that doesn’t depend on work or deeds?
That kind of love is freely given to us by a grace-filled God. Share that Good News with that person, won’t you?
