Meditate. What
do you learn from Jesus?
Jesus
told her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me
will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will
never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?" John 11:25-26
What do you
learn from Jesus? Oh my. He taught us so much that it can’t be covered in just
one day. When He was asked which is the greatest commandment He answered…
"'You must love the LORD your God with
all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' ... A second is equally
important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' The entire law and all the demands
of the prophets are based on these two commandments." Matthew 22:37,
39-40
I love the way that all the Ten
Commandments are rolled into those two. Exodus 20:3-11 covers our relationship
with God, putting Him first and honoring Him respectfully in our lives. Exodus
20:12-17 focus on our relationship with other people, beginning with our
parents and ending with our neighbors. The Ten Commandments are all about love.
Love means following His commandments.
I can’t tell
you how happy I am to learn that many members of your congregation are
diligent in living out
the Truth, exactly as commanded by the Father. But permit me a reminder,
friends, and this is not a new commandment but simply a repetition of our
original and basic charter: that we love each other. Love means following his
commandments, and his unifying commandment is that you conduct your lives in love. This is the first thing
you heard, and nothing has changed. 2 John 1:4-6 The MSG

Even in social distancing...love others. New York City -- From the Empire State Building. God so loved the world...can you? |
How do you show your love? Do you share the
knowledge of God with others? That is the ultimate form of love. Love Jesus by
telling others about Him. Jesus is more than just a baby in the manger—the Son
of God, the Creator, a teacher, a Rabbi, a prophet, a healer, our Savior, a
bridegroom preparing a new home for us. He is my Savior—The Messiah. Is Jesus your
Savior…your Messiah? Can you believe?
For God loved the world so much that he gave
his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but
have eternal life. John 3:16
Believe while there is still time. Things
change quickly. Are you ready? Can you share this good news with someone else
today? You can do it. You can do all things through Christ who gives you
strength. (Philippians 4:13)
Prayer
~ Lord God, You loved the world so much that You gave Your one and only Son, so
that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John
3:16. I believe. To You be the glory forever.
Happy
Cinco de Mayo!
A day to celebrate a victory of a small force over a
large army.
