“Love one another’ is an old commandment that we had from the very beginning, John tells us in the second chapter of 1 John.

“Yet it is also new,” John says.

Because Jesus came.

And he loved like no one has ever loved before.  He changed the meaning of this commandment for all time.

He loved us so much that he died a shameful, cruel death.

So that we might live.

So that we might love.

Like he loved.

So we can help push the darkness back….

to let the true light shine.

Dear Father, thank you for the love you lavish upon us every day!
