[Jesus says,] This is my command: "Love each other." (John 15:17)
Simple, isn't it? But easy? No!
Jesus says to love God with all the heart, mind, soul, and strength. (Mark 12:30) Are we to love each other likewise--with all the heart, mind, soul, and strength? A "yes" answer wells up in my soul. Love each other with the same love we have for God.
Love is God-originated anyway. (1 John 4:19) In loving God we return part of what God has given. In loving each other we share part of what God has given. May we return love; may we share love in the same way God gives love to us in the first place? I hope so.
This is Jesus' command: Love each other!
