John 15:12-15:17

Love One Another Really

Jesus is preparing his disciples for the changes about to take place. Like them, we are on a mission in a world that rejects our message. Part of our mission is to become more like Jesus, demonstrating kindness, love, forgiveness, etc. He has sent us on a rescue mission that will test the quality of our love as we daily yield our will. This message also examines what Jesus tells his disciples about being a true friend.

  1. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
  2. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
  3. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
  4. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
  5. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
  6. These things I command you, that ye love one another.
