Sharing God's Love Growing Faith Worshipping Together

Thought for the week:​​
​
Jn 13.31-35
Dear friends,
Jesus said, “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
But love isn’t new, is it? The Old Testament already taught us to love God and our neighbour.
So, what’s “new” about Jesus’ command? The word “new” here means fresh—something deeper and richer than before. Jesus gives love a new shape:
• New relationships: We’re not just neighbours—we’re now family in Christ.
• New example: Don’t just love like you love yourself—love like Jesus loves you: fully and sacrificially.
• A new witness to the world: This Christ-like love is our clearest testimony. “By this all will know that you are my disciples.” Our love for one another makes the invisible God visible.
As we go about our week, may we live this “new” love with fresh devotion, drawing others to the One who first loved us.
Blessings,
Martin

Risen Christ,
your wounds declare your love for the world
and the wonder of your risen life:
give us compassion and courage
to risk ourselves for those we serve,
to the glory of God the Father.
