John 13:33-35
33Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, “Where I am going, you cannot come.” 34I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.
35By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.’
So after all that, after Advent, after Christmas, after Epiphany, after Pentecost, after all the parables and after all the miracles, the Teacher sees we still need more. We still don’t seem to get it and there isn’t much time left. Little children indeed! So here it is, “Love one another,” that’s about as
simple as the Teacher can make it. They will know we belong to Jesus by our love!
It’s time to get the message and show the world our love! It’s time to reach out to others here at All Saints, here in Palatine, here in America, here in our World! It’s time for the Teacher to see that the little children have heard!
“They will know we are Christians by our love, by our Love. They will know we are Christians by our Love.”
We can get it, can’t we?
