John 13:31-32: “Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus said, ‘Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him; if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.’” This statement takes us back to John 12:23, where after hearing that some Greeks were seeking Him, Jesus said, “The hour has ...
John 13:33: “Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’” We see Jesus’ tender care for His disciples here in two ways. First, He addresses them as “little children.” This is the only time that this word is used in the Gospels. It is o...
John 13:34: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.” In going to the cross, Jesus was obeying the Father’s commandment (John 10:18). Now He commands His followers to love one another, even as He has loved us. The fact that Jesus commands us to love one another means that...
John 13:35: “By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” Jesus wasn’t just talking about having nice thoughts toward others, which no one else can see. He was talking about love that can be seen. It stems from the heart, but it’s seen in outward actions. It’s the sort of love that stands out conspicuously...
John 13:36-38: “Simon Peter said to Him, ‘Lord, where are You going?’ Jesus answered, ‘Where I go, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow later.’ Peter said to Him, ‘Lord, why can I not follow You right now? I will lay down my life for You.’ Jesus answered, ‘Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not c...
I recognize that this kind of love is the ideal and we live in a sinful world that presents us with many difficult situations that require prayerful wisdom to obey Jesus’ command. I can only offer a few seeds for thought here on how to apply this. Does loving someone require that I like that person? Does it mean that I must become a close friend wi...
Since God is gracious to undeserving sinners, how can we know when to be gracious to those in sin and when to confront them or separate from them?What’s the difference between loving someone and liking him? Are we commanded to like everyone? What does this imply?Love is patient and kind, and yet neither Jesus nor Paul were always patient and kind (Matt. 17:17; 23:1-39; Acts 13:6-12). How do you reconcile this? How should we apply it?What are the boundaries of visible Christian unity? When is it not only right, but necessary, to divide from erring or sinning Christians?John, a disciple of Jesus and an apostle, says that God is love (1 John 4:16). Love characterizes God’s core essence. We see examples of God’s patient, kind, and enduring love throughout the Scriptures, especially in the story of Jesus’ non-violent responses to Roman oppression and religious coercion.

- John 8:1-11: A Woman Caught in Adultery. “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Jesus hates sin, and here we have a woman caught in the act of a sin which, at the time, was punishable by death.
- Luke 22:47-53: The Servant of the Enemy. And he touched the man’s ear and healed him. This incident is my absolute favorite scene in the movie The Passion Of The Christ.
- Mark 5:21-34: A Sick Woman. “Who touched my clothes?” When you read this story, do you ever pause and ask: Why did Jesus stop? Why this woman? Like his disciples said, it was crowded and people were pushing in all around him.
- Luke 5:1-11: The First Disciples. “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” I love this moment in history because Jesus didn’t just walk by, see a bunch of guys in a fishing boat, and yell, “Hey, you!
God asks His people to separate from Babylon (Revelation 18:2–4) and all it stands for—including jewels that draw attention to self—and instead clothe themselves with the righteousness of Jesus. When we love Jesus, it is a sheer joy and pleasure to live His lifestyle.

Mar 26, 1995 · Today I want us to see the depth of Christ's love revealed in its costliness. Let's look at Ephesians 5:1–2, Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
