John 13:31-14:14
What would you show as evidence that you are a follower of Jesus? If someone wanted to convict you as a Christian, what would they bring to a judge? According to Jesus in John 13, the proof we are Christians is the way we love people. Our calling is not to occasionally love others, but to follow in Jesus’ footsteps by loving continually as an overflow of the love he has shown us. Jesus serves us, so we should serve others. Jesus forgives us, so we should forgive others. Jesus encourages us, so we should encourage others. Jesus speaks truth to us, so we should speak truth to others. All the ways we are loved by God need to become all the ways we love others.
At the beginning of John 13, we saw Jesus stooping down to serve his disciples by washing their feet, That is only one example of the way he loved and served. If we want to prove to the world that we are disciples of Jesus, then they need to see God’s love coming through us. So, we need to continue to stay focused on our mission and do everything in love.
Father God, thank you for your love of me. Help me to love others as a response to the love you have shown me, so they might know I am a Christian. Amen.
Are you loving well enough for people to convict you as a Christian? If not, how can you begin loving better?
