What’s the one thing you love more than anything? Chocolate ice cream? Pizza? Dessert nachos? Your pet? A sport? A sport’s team? Okay, you get where we're going with this. We all love stuff - our favorite song, style of music, movie, name it. What does love mean, though? Is it a basic emotion we feel when we like something, or is it different than that? Love . . . true love, sacrifices. It believes the best in others and forgives them along the way. Love is fearless, and it always puts others first.
Jesus looked at his disciples, and told them to love each other with the same type of love he’s shown to them. That’s a huge request. The disciples didn’t always get along with each other. They came from different parts of town and had different ideas on things. Yet, Jesus told them, and he’s telling us, we need to love the way he does. They never had to figure it out on their own, Jesus saw them for who they are and showed them a new way to love.
When do you need the reminder that Jesus always loves the deeper part of ourselves the most?

About this Plan
If you're a hiker, you know a trail-breaker is someone who walks ahead, makes a new way, and invites others to follow. That's exactly what Jesus did for us. He broke a new trail with his birth, his life, his teachings, and then with his death and resurrection. In this 30-day devotional series designed for Lent, we’ll see how Jesus showed us a new way of living and knowing God.
