*As Jesus or As yourself?*
_Key Bible Text:_
*A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.*
(John 13:34 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
One of the most outstanding things about the Christmas season is the birth of Christ. While we must remember or even celebrate this blessed season, we must never forget the spirit behind God's move and decision in sending His son Jesus. The answer to the why of Jesus' coming to earth is simply, LOVE.
John 3:16 may have been abused but it cannot be overused or overemphasized. Jesus is God's decision born out of love. "For God so loved", he couldn't help but "gave His only begotten son". And even that had a reason, "that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life". So God's love in sending Jesus was not exactly "reckless" but absolutely intentional and expedient.
This love of God is under examination today because when John 13:34 is read, we do not always readily appreciate the depth and height and intensity of this new command Jesus gave us. In John 13:34 (Amplified) Jesus said, *"I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. _Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another."*_
Please do not miss the point in a hurry. This love in this new commandment is very well qualified and defined. It is love as Jesus loves. And that's quite huge.
_MEDITATION:_
*Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.* (1 John 3:16 (KJV))
