HEAL - God's Heart for Healing in JohnSýnishorn

Love is a verb!

Jesus speaks of love ten times in the last half of this chapter. He seems to really be trying to make the point of how important love is to those who call themselves His followers. He said things such as: He loves us like the Father loves Him; we should remain in love; keeping His commandments is evidence that we love Him; we are to love each other just like He loves us; greater love has no man than to lay down his life for his friends; and, in summary, He commanded, “Love each other.” Ok, Jesus, we get your point. You have clearly called us to love you, and others, just like you have loved us.  

When we’re experiencing a time of illness, let’s challenge ourselves to see how many new people with whom we can share His love. Physicians, nurses, health food store employees, pharmacists, holistic medicine professionals, herbs and oil sellers, etc. all need love from us, not only love from us but also God’s love through us. We have a job to do, let’s just do it.

QUESTIONS:

1. Do I understand how important love is to my Heavenly Father?
2. How can I learn more about how much He loves me?
3. How would loving others be a good representation of Jesus especially coming from someone they know is hurting?
