True Love Part Two


Listen Later

What is True Love according to the Bible? And how did Jesus exhibit it? We continue the exploration today. I am praying that Holy Spirit will speak to each heart listening and for our hearts to be expanded to receive God's Agape love. With that, then we will be enabled to love with genuine love and become vessels through whom God can use to accomplish His purposes here on earth. There is a world of hopeless, dying folks who need Jesus' love. Let's drink deep and then go and share!

Matthew 22:37-40 (NKJV)37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” (Deuteronomy 6:4-7)

We love because He first loved us. — 1 John 4:19

Matthew 5: 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.

John 1: 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Jesus saw their hearts: John 11,  Luke 5:22, John 2:22

Jesus forgives John 4, John 8 Luke 23:34 “And Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’”

Jesus Spoke truth in love (kindness)- Nicodemus (John 3:3-21) Samaritan Women (John 4) John 12:44-50.

Jesus Served: Heals the lame man and fed the 5,000;  the Crippled Man ,Luke 5; Heals the blind man; John 9.

Jesus sacrificed: “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”

Jesus spent time with the God in prayer; spent time with His Disciples and friends.

Jesus taught/shared wisdom. John 10-17 

Jesus comforts/compassionate: John 11: 17-35  "Jesus wept".

Jesus received love: John 12

Jesus radically obeyed: John 12:49-50; John 19:17;John 19:30.

Jesus said no: To Lazarus’ friends (John 11:1-8), , to His Disciples when He told them to feed the thousands (Mark 6: 35-37 …send them away to go get something to eat…Jesus: You give them something to eat.) “Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one” (Matthew 5:37).

Jesus set boundaries: He gave us boundaries for our safety and well being: Go and sin no more; Don’t tell anyone about this healing; Get in the boat and go to the other side; remain in me; obey my commands. “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen” (Matthew 6:6).  Luke 5:16, John 14:6, Luke 16:13, John 5:44
