The Message

I John 3:11 reminds us of something Jesus said early on in his ministry,

For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

Love one another.

That’s worth hearing again.

Love one another.

Sometimes it’s good to go back to the beginning of our walk with Christ, back to the start of the gospels when Jesus first spoke in authority to his listeners, or back to the beginning of the Bible, with the first verse that tells us “In the beginning God…”

Those beginning words, the things we heard that were the foundation on which we stand, we need to hear again.

Love one another.

What does that look like, today?  Observing a neighbor in need? Calling a friend to tell them we’re praying for them? Giving our time or resources to enable a friend to thrive?

There are so many things we can hear in this world, all in the course of one day.  But it’s those things that we hear loudest that we attend to…or tune out.

Love one another.

Today.
