WHATEVER IT TAKES TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER

John 13:34-35

Loving Jesus’ people shows people Jesus.

A dangerous statement:
We (as christians) are often known more for our law than for our love.

The motivation:
Jesus commands a profound love from you

The reality:
It will be obvious you follow Jesus if you love like Jesus

The effect:
The world is dying to see you love one another
