How the World Loves
John 15:17-19
It is interesting to think about how the world loves.
In this passage it says that the world loves it’s own.
This makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
There is a natural tendency to have affection for the people who are the most like you.
I would also note that people tend to show grace and compassion to those that are the most similar to themselves.
On the other hand the in the world people tend to hate those that are dissimilar from themselves.
This seems to be a universal attribute of relationships.
Matthew 5:43-48
Note that Jesus teaches us that the tendency to “love those who love us” “greet only your brothers and sisters” that we are only doing what the ordinary people do.
This is not anything special.
It is also interesting that Jesus uses the word agape (love) when referring to how Christians are to love and Phileo (love) when referring to how the world loves it’s own (see John 15:17-19).
Phileo describes an affection that exist in families and close knit social groups.
So the world is capable of loving its own especially when its own are quite similar to itself.
However, this is not the type of love Christians are called to.
As I have been saying ours is a higher calling.
In short when we love only our own who are most like ourselves we are loving in the same way as the world loves.
On the other hand when we love sacrificially then we love in the way that Christ loves.
As Christians we ought to aspire to love as Christ has loved.
God Bless You
