'Love as You Have Been Loved' - John 13:33-34

[Jesus said,] "Dear children, I will be with you only a little longer. And as I told the Jewish leaders, you will search for me, but you can't come where I am going. So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other."

John 13:33-34 NLT

Key Thought


The standard of love has been set for us. We are to love each other as Jesus has loved us — he served us, and he sacrificed for us. Jesus shows us that love is both extravagant and practical. He now wants us to demonstrate these qualities with our love!

Today's Prayer


Father, I confess that my love is often shallow and selfish. I know that your Spirit has worked on me to help broaden and deepen my understanding of true love. Now bless me as I seek to live with Jesus' love toward my family, my friends, and my co-workers. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
