John 15:9-14
Love One Another
9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command.
God is LOVE...Jesus is Light...LOVE and Light, They seem to be related...Jesus teaches us both about Love and about the Light...It seems for me, when the days are the lightest and brightest I feel better, much better...Dreary, dark days make we feel not so good...There is a reason for this...
Two great men tell us about Light and the darkness...C. S. Lewis once said, "If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning."...And Martin Luther King, Jr. said this about darkness, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."...
The world would always be dark and dreary, if it wasn't for the Light...And darkness can never drive out the darkness of life...We need Love and the Light to give our world meaning to drive out the dark things of the world...
Jesus is the Light of this world...He is the One who gives the world meaning...Whoever follows His path will never walk in darkness...When we follow the Light of His teachings, we will have eternal life...He teaches us to focus on the path of His Light...That path is the One of righteousness...When we are following His path, we cannot be swayed by temptations and evil...His path is full of Light, and full of Love, the Love of God...We must be focused on His Light and this Love to keep the faith...Our faith helps light the darkness...When we follow the Light, we find the Truth and the treasures of life and in living...And these Truths will set us free...
