What does it really mean to love like Jesus? Not just feel love, but actively choose it—especially when it's hard, inconvenient, or costly.

This week we discovered that abiding in Christ produces one undeniable fruit: love. Not the convenient kind, but cross-shaped love. The kind that initiates, serves, forgives, and sacrifices. Jesus said it twice in five verses: "Love one another as I have loved you" (John 15:12-17). That's how important this is.

Here's the truth: we can't manufacture this love by trying harder. We produce it by staying connected to the Vine. When we abide in Jesus, love flows naturally into our lives and overflows into our community. This is our witness. This is how the world will know we belong to Him.

The clearest evidence you're abiding isn't how much you know about Jesus or how long you've followed Him—it's how you love people.
