The key ingredient
| A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another. (John13:34-35) |
This is what Jesus modeled when He washed the disciples' feet.
But in the same conversation He also predicted His death and even triggered it by bringing Judas out into the open and basically giving him the go ahead to commit his treachery.
Later in chapter 15 Jesus will also tell His disciples that no one has greater love than to lay down his life for his friends. Then He proceeds to die for everyone, not only friends, but enemies and those who didn't know or care.
Jesus epitomised love.
When we love people through service and sacrifice, we're reflecting Jesus.
Look for opportunities today to love and serve with a gracious heart that makes people feel valued.
You'll be moving them one step closer to Jesus...
