Love will save the world.
From today’s Scripture: “And his commandment is this: we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another just as he commanded us.”—1 Jn 3:23
Do our children know it? Do our neighbors see it? What about our co-workers, friends, or those we meet in Walmart or the local hardware store?
Jesus’ words in the Gospel today challenge me. Do the people around me know that I am a disciple of Christ because of the love I show to them? Not only in times when life is going well but, especially, when I am stressed, pressured, lonely, or suffering: Especially in these moments, does my love for others shine through?
Love will save the world if we, as his disciples, love one another.
Let us pray: Help me, Jesus, to love those around me, in a manner fitting for one who desires to be your disciple. Amen.
