Freedom! We all want to feel free—to be free. Free from…sin, fear, oppression,
discouragement, burdens, cares, worries, sickness…death. Truth will set us
free. Jesus is the Truth—He told us that several times. So what does it take to
be a disciple of Jesus? One has to follow Jesus’ teaching—be a student of His words.
The twelve disciples were chosen by Jesus…but everyone who follows Him is also
considered to be His disciple. In John 13:34-35 He defines what people have to
do…"A new commandment I give to you,
that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one
another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love
for one another." Additional encouragement is found in a book written
by John. Beloved, let us love one another,
for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7. So love one another. Love will set you free.
RSVP: Jesus is inviting us to His table today to feast with Him and other
disciples…showing love for one another. How will you respond today to His
request?
Prayer~ Dear God—You are Love…and love comes from You. Show me how to
love not only my family, friends, and neighbors, but even the unlovable in my
community, that we all would be set free from the things that we fear holding
us in a type of bondage.
