April 13 Lenten Devotion


April 13

John 15:12

Love One Another





This is my commandment, "That you love one another as I have loved you."

In order to understand this command, it is necessary to look carefully at how Jesus loved us and showed us that love in so many ways. He showed love by forgiving people, by healing people inside and out, by feeding people, clothing them and he showed love to everyone, even sinners and unlovable.

That is what Jesus wants us to do in this commandment. And though it is hard, it is possible. We need to find ways every day to show love to others in the same way that Jesus did, putting them on the right path and making them whole.

Prayer:

Dear God, please be with us as we love one another. It must be hard for you to see how hard it is for us to follow this commandment. Amen.
