Love Like Jesus | John 13:33-35 video by Pastor, Gary Hamrick for Cornerstone Chapel for Leesburg VA
Jesus tells us to “love one another” as He has loved us, and that when we do, it will show the world that we are His disciples. But how is love defined in the Bible? And how are we to demonstrate this kind of love to others? The world today defines love in a very different way. It uses “love” as a cover for tolerating and accepting all kinds of sinful behavior, and if you object, you are labeled as unloving. But true love reflects the love of the Lord as revealed in the Bible—sometimes it’s tough, sometimes tender; sometimes confronting, sometimes caring; sometimes challenging, sometimes encouraging. Our job is to know Jesus so that we can show the love of Jesus to a world that needs to know His transforming love.
