~ As Believers We Have New Orders ~
Scripture ~ “So,
when he had gone out, Jesus said, ‘Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is
glorified in Him. If God is glorified in
Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately. Little children, I shall be with you a little
while longer. You will seek Me; and as I
said to the Jews, “Where I am going, you cannot come,” so now I say to
you. A new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My
disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:31-35).
“Jesus
said to him, ‘“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with
all your soul, and with all your mind.”
This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: “You shall love
your neighbor as yourself.” On these
two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets’” (Matthew 22:37-40).
Comment ~ Such
easy concepts to grasp, but difficult to consistently carry out. It is our God given marching orders – we are
responsible to carry out these two commands.
