three.
Jesus said, My commandis this Love each other as I have love.
You love each other as I have loved you,
Jesus said in John Chapter 16.
You visited that great love has no one
and is to lay down one's lifefor one's friends.
(00:45):
Christianity is their call.
We agreed to allow.
We are being called to love, integrate,tell we in the law
we were told to love thy neighboras themselves.
And even that was a problem.
They failed and couldn't.
A master came and took iteven to that standard
(01:07):
that Christian is not just code to love,not to us here,
but to lay down his lifefor their program.
This is not an opinion or a suggestion
is a commandment and obligation.
Jesus said, My command
is this love each otheras I have loved you.
(01:29):
He commands us to love one another.
The ship we loved us.
How did he love?
He laid down his life for the world.
We are then also instructedto lay down our lives for the brethren,
this translates to putting othersbefore you,
taking up on your diet burdens and needs
(01:50):
both spiritual and physical.
So as John said, this is how we have
we know what love is.
Jesus Christ laid down his life for us
and we are to lay down our livesfor our brothers and sisters.
First, John. Chapter three Verses from
(02:10):
John was our on
when Jesus assaulted them in John
16, He understood what Jesus meant.
So He comes after Jesus.
After Jesus has gone to Heavento write the same thing
to the Christians, John says.
It is how we know what love is.
Jesus Christ lay down his life for us
(02:33):
and we ought to lay down our livesfor our brothers and sisters.
Jonah has understood the essence of love.
Now understands what love really is.
Because love came in living in flesh.
And he was with him for three years.
He had walked love said, dead and thought.
(02:54):
At the end, Lovewent to their cross and offered
and so not saw anything He had committed.
So he was redemptionfor the sins of others.
So love to John.
Go and tell them what I have said,
what you have seen me do.
I was torturedand battered for what I didn't do
(03:16):
or what others have done.
Therefore, tell them to Lance or me.
Tell them to lay the eyes of his
beloved
the Lord Jesus Christ
was not only
severe that also He goes.
(03:37):
It goes The message to my daring
to show manhow God intended for man, truly.
So in every way He showed us
how we are supposed to lead a possethat follow me,
say for your Christ in your work of love,
you should follow Christ.
(03:58):
Follow Christ.
How do you know that?
How you allow loving is the right toto love that many to another program.
Find out
something makes sense to youAll people clap for gotcha.
That does not mean that that iswhat is the truth.
I do know that the
when you preach your faithis the way that see it really is.
(04:20):
How do you know the truth about anything?
I do know that what you thinkrighteousness is.
I believe righteousness is havehave you a definition for righteousness?
I mean, makes sense toyou doesn't mean that you are right.
You may also have your definitionfor life.
We make sense to youis the people whom we may be clapping
or does it mean you are rightand you know you are right?
(04:43):
Jesus said, I am the way the truth,
the I Jesus is the truth.
So Paul understood that if I followJesus in anything, I will be walking.
In truth, as we got to that thing,as Apple his follow me as I follow
Christ, follow me as I look excellentthrough me as I fully the truth in love
(05:04):
15 feet telling me that I will do it.
We can righteousness.
He is a standard issue sizing differenceabout what is right.
I just laugh
and Jesus came.
Love came to me.
He showed us as love correctslove, rebukes
love laid down his life to for ideas.
There are some who are at different sidesof the pendulum.
(05:27):
There are some who think that if I lovesomeone
means everything that he sheshe does or he does as I do.
That person, if I love that,is always actually supporting that person
because I love that this does not allowat this cycle of cycle fantasy
and would later. That is no love.
If you love someone
(05:47):
always want to tell himor do something for you more here
that really to instill happiness.
So if you see that personnot or in the right pat
talking about God doing
this right, sometimes you be hardand harsh, of course, of love
and love is not just about doing
(06:07):
things that necessary to make people happy
for us to boost it,and then maybe for everybody
got to make them happy in their right.
We to get wrong.
We see if we don't seek for people
to be having sales that does not love
you as a Christian or ideasof what you are doing for this person,
(06:29):
I am telling this person
as in need to,in becoming a better person.
The eyes of God is so ingrained.
Love, right?
You support anyone to do anything
which has not lead toyou becoming a better person.
The eyes of God that is not love.
I bet some you like to forgeteven thing that you love
(06:52):
that is in the eyes ofGod don't love that person.
But Jesus said that
grew to love and no man that is
a manshould lay down his life for his friends.
You cannot say that you love someonewhen you have and the person is hungry.
That is not love
(07:12):
cannot see you love someone
when you are out in lingerieand your other Christian brothers.
I know that is my like
that is not love is lovenot or the way I do
that could do that to you.
Love it.
