John 13:35 (NKJV) 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jesus spent a fair amount of His time here on earth teaching people to love. He didn’t teach warfare. He didn’t teach intolerance. He didn’t teach bigotry. He didn’t teach racism. He didn’t teach sexism.<\/p>\n

He taught love.<\/p>\n

As His body, we are supposed to exemplify His teachings and live them out. How? By loving others. By showing them God’s mercy and compassion.<\/p>\n

John 13:34 (NKJV) 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another<\/span>.<\/p>\n

How far we have fallen when it comes to following His new commandment.<\/p>\n

It’s very sad to see the state of the church today. We have become like the world in so many ways.<\/p>\n

And yet we expect to be able to reach out to a dying world and offer them something that will rescue them from the pits of hell, while we are being hateful in our speech and our actions.<\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 13:11 (NKJV) 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.<\/p>\n

Church, it’s time for us to put away childish things and walk in the footsteps of Jesus.<\/p>\n

The world is a mess. People are dying all around us. Believers in some countries are literally dying for their faith every single day, at the hands of terrorists and tyrants.<\/p>\n

And yet, in some areas of the world, we get caught up in silly debates about things that have no bearing on anything eternal, or even anything truly important.<\/p>\n

We implore you. Put off the childish things and seek God with your whole heart. And love those He has put in your life.<\/p>\n

And show them Christ, each and every day, by showing them His mercy and compassion.<\/p>\n
