Mark 14:22-26; Matthew 26:26-29; Luke 22:15-20; John 13:31-35; Mark 14:27-31; Matthew 26:30-35; Luke 22:31-38; John 13:36-38; John 14:1-15:17

[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!
