Part 2 Love One Another
In John 15:12 Jesus gives us a command.
not a suggesting or I hope you do this.
He gives us a straight out order..
Jesus not only tells us what to do, but He tells us how to do it.
We are to Love other as He has loved us.
That’s a pretty tall order.
but God never expects us to Love on our own.
but rather to Love out of a response to the Love He has shown us!
This isn’t a one time recording of Jesus telling us to Love others
Over 16 times we are told that “Jesus tells us to Love others”.
I don’t know about you, but if my wife tells me something 16x It’s probably pretty important to her. and it should probably be important to me if its that important to her
Just saying.......
Might this be important to God that we Love one another?
I really don’t think God could make himself any clearer on His epectation for us to Love one another.
But what does that look like?
What does it mean to Love one Another?
Well to answer that we need to define Love
What the world often defines as Love is in reality Lust.
the world really doe not know How to Love
because to Love you must know Love
For us to truly Love we must know what Love is.
I’m so grateful God did that for us.
People think they know how to Love, but that’s not possible outside of God
don’t get me wrong....people can understand aspects of Love
but to fully know Love you must know God
Let me explain.
The Bible talks about 4 types.
now we loose it in the translation because each of these 4 types are all translated into the English word “love “
Eros in the Bible
Pronounced AIR-os
Eros is what we would call romantic love.
This includes love found in Song of Solomon or even in unhealthy places mentioned where sex and sexual immorality become an idol for certain communities.
Storge in the Bible
Pronounced stor-JAY
Storge refers to love between family members.
Think of how many examples of Storge you can find in the Bible between the many families mentioned: Noah and his children, fathers and mothers devoted to their children, Ruth and Naomi to name a few!
Philia in the Bible
Have you ever heard the city of Philadelphia referred to as the city of “Brotherly Love?”
That’s because this form of love is Greek for the deep, emotional bonds that connect two people.
Often this is exemplified in friendship, but really it is also extended to those who show love and care for others out of their love for their neighbor.
We see examples of this kind of love between figures like David and Jonathan or even in
Agape in the Bible
pronounced uh-GAH-pay
The highest and most noble form of love is reserved for the love that God has for us.
is what Jesus demonstrated on the cross for us by sacrificing his life and taking on the entire burden of sin for all mankind so that we could have life everlasting with Him in Heaven.
Its the word used in 1 cor 13…the Love Chapter
That’s the defininition of Agape Love
God’s love for us that He want to translate for us to love others
But Let’s admit it.
There are people in your life that are hard to Love.
Am I right?
But God wants to Love them through you.
God has given us freedom, not to do what we want but rather to Love others.
Incidently the root word translated in vs 14 to Love is Agape
Love your Neighbor as Yourself
If you don’t treat yourself well, this isn’t going to work
if your treat yourself miserably, the neighbour doesn’t have a chance
Love Yourself
Learn to Value your identity in Christ
Stop comparing
Nuture your relationship with God
Steward your strength
Take care of your body
Be gracious to your downfalls
Live with intention
Speak Life
Pursue Joy
Love yourself where you’re at
Love your Neighbor
Who’s my Neighbor?
Man
The Parable of the Good Samaritan tells the story of a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, and while on the way he is robbed of everything he had, including his clothing, and is beaten to within an inch of his life.
That road was treacherously winding and was a favorite hideout of robbers and thieves.
Priest
The next character Jesus introduces into His story is a priest.
He spends no time describing the priest and only tells of how he showed no love or compassion for the man by failing to help him and passing on the other side of the road so as not to get involved.
If there was anyone who would have known God’s law of love, it would have been the priest.
By nature of his position, he was to be a person of compassion, desiring to help others.
Unfortunately, “love” was not a word for him that required action on the behalf of someone else.
Levite
The next person to pass by in the Parable of the Good Samaritan is a Levite, and he does exactly what the priest did: he passes by without showing any compassion.
Again, he would have known the law, but he also failed to show the injured man compassion.
Samaritan
The next person to come by is the Samaritan, the one least likely to have shown compassion for the man.
Samaritans were considered a low class of people by the Jews since they had intermarried with non-Jews and did not keep all the law.
Therefore, Jews would have nothing to do with them.
We do not know if the injured man was a Jew or Gentile, but it made no difference to the Samaritan; he did not consider the man’s race or religion.
The “Good Samaritan” saw only a person in dire need of assistance, and assist him he did, above and beyond the minimum required.
He dresses the man’s wounds with wine (to disinfect) and oil (to sooth the pain).
He puts the man on his animal and takes him to an inn for a time of healing and pays the innkeeper with his own money.
He then goes beyond common decency and tells the innkeeper to take good care of the man, and he would pay for any extra expenses on his return trip.
The Samaritan saw his neighbor as anyone who was in need.
Because the good man was a Samaritan, Jesus is drawing a strong contrast between those who knew the law and those who actually followed the law in their lifestyle and conduct.
You see its one thing to know the right thing to do,
but the important thing is that you do it!
