...in community


John 13:35 is one of the verses that continues to come back to me.  It’s almost like the Spirit is saying, “get this”, “remember this”, “BE this”.  

John 13:35 says, “ Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” 

This love - in Greek, ἀγάπη - agapē  - is an affectionate love – it is full and rich – it shares bread together, like a feast – it is sacrificial. 

Experiencing this kind of love IN a community is heaven on earth. 

Exercise: Pray – heart to heart with 1 or 2 other people.  As you pray think about Christ in them, holding all of you.  Ask the Spirit to speak to you about the needs of the others.  

Write down what you hear, and after you have departed from the others, continue to pray – heart to heart – for the others.  

Continue to write down what you hear.
