The Command to Love - 6th Sunday of Easter

Where does love come from? It comes from God alone. What does it look like? It looks like a man hanging on a Cross in our behalf. What does such love require out of us? It requires us to move beyond “need love” to “gift love.” To look around at others who are in need of God’s love and to give it to them--not asking what they can do for us, but remembering what Christ has done for us. This is my command,” Jesus said to his disciples, and also to us: “Love one another.”
