The church has a unique and awesome purpose. We have been chosen and called to fill every nook and cranny with the glory of God. The church is called to do this in all types of context. Whatever the context the way of the kingdom will have its opposition and hard times. Rejection will be faced on many levels. It is in this setting that Jesus says the disciples love for Him will be visible. As we begin to look at the marks of a disciple we see that the disciple first has a supreme and incomparable love for Jesus. May we have this most important value as His church.
