Scripture: John 14:21Links to an external site. (New International Version)
Jesus is love and expects us to show our love for Him by keeping His commandments. The world is full of sin, but Christians are called to be a light and to be different. Christians are not required to stand on the street corner with a bullhorn trying to save others. Take a moment and try to remember the most recent Ferrari commercial you have seen. Ferrari doesn’t produce many commercials like Ford, Honda, or Chevy because their cars sell themselves. Based on how a Ferrari looks, sounds, and performances, many people recognize it as a high end vehicle without ever seeing a commercial. As Christians we don’t have to try to sell Christianity, but like the Ferrari, the world should see how we act, love, communicate, and see the light in us.
Reflect on your life and how you keep His commandments. What are some barriers to keeping the commandments of Jesus and how can love be used to help overcome them?
