Theme : “ Jesus teaches and practices love ”
Text : John 13:34-35
34. I give you a new commandment: Love one another; as I have loved you, you too, love one another. 35. By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
Let's remember:
Jesus teaches us a commandment that is always new, even if we have already read it. Humans have the bad habit of bringing everything back to themselves and never to others. Success is defined by who each is; never by what each does for his neighbour. Jesus taught his disciples how to love one's neighbour; and he himself is the model of love. He kept them around him, led them, supported them with unfailing and unending love. He healed the sick without tithing for himself; he taught those who went astray and who led the crowd astray. Jesus shows us that all the commandments “Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal…” are summed up in a single law: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself”. Let's put an end to the cycle of blind selfishness that brings everything back to itself. Let's think of others by supporting them without expecting something in return. This is how the world will see in us the traces of Jesus since we will act like him. Excellent Sunday. Amen Alain Louz.-
