OUR FATHER WHO IS GLORIFIED IN HIS SON

The book of John chapter 13 verses 31 - 35 records the final commandment that the Lord Jesus gave to His disciples.

As the time of His arrest drew closer, He let his followers know that He was going to depart shortly but in this moment of sorrow, He adjured them to love one another in the same way that He loved them.

31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him. 32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately. 

33 Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you. 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

To love one another is the most universal way of demontrating to others that we are followers of Christ as we obey His command to do so.

Amen.
