Jesus Taught Us That His Commandment Is Love ㅡ

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

 (John 15:12)

Christ has given us an example of pure, disinterested love.

You have not as yet seen your deficiency in this respect, and your great need of this heavenly attainment, without which all your good purposes, and your zeal, even if it be of that nature that you could give your goods to feed the poor and your body to be burned, is nothing.

You need that charity which suffereth long, is not easily provoked, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Without the spirit of love, no one can be like Christ.

With this living principle in the soul, no one can be like the world.

God bids you with one hand, faith, take hold of His mighty arm, and with the other hand, love, reach perishing souls.

Christ is the way, the truth, and the life.

Follow Him.

Walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Walk even as He walked.

This is the will of God, even your sanctification.

The work you have to perform is to do the will of Him who sustains your life for His glory.
