Jesus tells us to love others as He has loved us. He has given us the example of how to love others. To be honest, it’s a pretty high standard. So often I want to set my own standard for how I will or will not love people, but that is not what Jesus has called us to. He has called us to love like He loves. He loves fully, sacrificially, graciously, unselfishly, etc. When I think about that I start to fret because I know I can never do it. And then I realize that’s the point. Jesus has given us such a high standard of love in order to point us back to Him. I need to pray for Him to help me love like He does. I can never muster up enough within myself to love like that. He has to do it in me. Let’s join together in praying that Jesus will help us to love others like He has loved us. So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” (John 13:34-35 NLT)
