In the tapestry of relationships, love is a thread that binds us together. Yet, amidst the depth and breadth of our love for one another, there is a love that surpasses all understanding – our love for Jesus Christ. John 15:9 (NIV) says, "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love." Jesus invites us to mirror the enduring love of the Father for the Son.
Our love for Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith, influencing how we love others. It teaches us to love unconditionally, to forgive generously, and to serve humbly.
This love is our greatest treasure, most profound calling, and source of joy. It compels us to love one another, not from our strength, but from the overflow of His love within us. In loving Jesus, we discover the capacity of our hearts to love others deeply and authentically.
