Yes, you! Never forget it.Ĭlick here to listen to the full audio teaching Only as we internalize the extent that God loves us in Christ on the cross can we even begin to spontaneously love others that way and thus fulfill Christ’s command. That is why one of the values of Mission City Church is LIVE LOVED. God’s love is the fuel that keeps are love going. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” 1 John 4:10-11 The beloved disciple seems to have reiterate Jesus when he tells us in his letter, “This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. We can only fulfill His new command as we sit at the foot of the cross and stay there for more than just a while. We can only wash others feet because He first washed our feet. We can only love because He first loved us. People who are being healed through that process and are now able to begin to love and advocate for their neighbor and their enemy. People who have allowed the blood of Christ’s forgiveness and grace to cast out the spirit of accusation that is swirling all around them. People who have stood underneath the horrific site of the cross and yet received the word of forgiveness and grace. People who had laid down next to his chest and heard his heart beat. The way Jesus will run the world is through people who have allowed Him to wash their feet. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” Jesus -John 13:34-35 As I have loved you, so you must love one another. “A new command I give you: Love one another.
