The Path of Love

 Jeremiah 37-39; Psalms 79; 2 John 

“And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.”

2 John 6

The life of a follower of Jesus Christ should look more and more like the life of our leader, Jesus. Following Jesus in the daily choices of loving, forgiving, obeying, and supporting, is evidence that we are God’s children. When faith becomes an intellectual exercise and we fight over doctrines at the expense of love and humility, we have lost our way. The pathway of Jesus is love and obedience. 

Are we walking this path?

Are the words we speak and our daily habits a witness of the love of Jesus within us to those who are closest to us, as well as to our neighbors? 

Does our obedience to Christ’s commands and God’s Word come from love?

Is love motivating all that we do?

This is the pathway of Jesus and the path of his disciples.

“Lord Jesus, thank you for your love. Fill me with love so that I can live with and in your love today, for your glory.”
