Loving Well

12/30/2024

0 Comments

 
The other day I saw a t-shirt that said, “Love people like Jesus died for them”. It hit true because too often we Christians love others well only when it’s convenient for us. True love doesn’t stem from our own strength but from the power of Christ. The love we pour out to others through Jesus Christ isn’t the easy way of loving others that already love you but loving those who do not reciprocate. Matthew 5:46 says, “For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?” We can love all people well by the power of the Holy Spirit and through the example of Jesus Christ. 1 John 4:16 & 19 reminds us, “So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him…. We love because he first loved us.” We’ve seen this play out through our own children. We love and show our love deeply to our children but also to anyone who steps through our home. Our children have seen and felt that love, and now they pour love and welcome on others despite cultural/social backgrounds or how those people might view their parents. So, let’s love people like Jesus died for them with a love like that of a child.
