Cael yr apThe One: AdventSampl
The Hebrew Bible records the history of God’s people repeatedly neglecting the greatest commandment to love God and others. How can we hope to do any better? Jesus helps us when he adds a new commandment to accompany the greatest commandment. His new command shows how his own sacrificial love can empower his followers to love others.
Read:
John 13:34, and review Mark 12:29-31
1 John 4:9-11
Reflect:
Compare John 13:34 with Mark 12:29-31. What is the difference between these two commands? How does Jesus’ own example renew and fulfill the greatest command?
Review 1 John 4:9-11 carefully. What words or phrases stand out to you? According to this passage, why did Jesus give his life, and what should motivate our love for others?
Take a moment to pray in response to what you learned today.

The Christ Tree contains countless sprigs of fir, representing each of us. No two sprigs are the same and they come together to form a magnificent sight. Each one is unique, yet an essential part of the whole, just as we are described in 1 Corinthians 12. We hope you will join us as we read The One Advent plan and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior.
