John 15:12 … the Commandment of Christ<br />
(03/06/2011)<br />
“This is my Commandment:<br />
that you Love one another<br />
in the same manner that I have Loved you.”<br />
~ Jesus Christ (John 15:12)<br />
As complicated as some would make it, Salvation – at least as far as Jesus<br />
was concerned – is quite simple indeed: simply set aside all the vindictive &<br />
aggressive & fearful verses you find in both Testaments, and return to Jesus' sole<br />
Commandment; namely, Loving others in our own lives in the same manner that<br />
Jesus loved others in his.<br />
And how did Jesus Love others? By extending humble deeds of Kindness,<br />
that’s how -- especially to those his culture deemed "undesirable", and especially to<br />
his own personal enemies.<br />
“By this will everyone know that you are my disciples:<br />
when you show Love toward one another.”<br />
~ Jesus Christ (John 13:35)<br />
