Day 1: Love one another as Christ has loved you.

Jesus gives a fresh, new commandment to love one another in the same way he has loved—an agape love that identifies discipleship; this is not a suggestion about attendance or tithes but the mode by which the world will know who wears the banner of Christ, and it calls the hearer to move out of comfort and into sacrificial relationship.

John 13:34-35 (KJV)
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Reflection: Name one person you find hardest to love; before sundown today, do one concrete, loving act for them (a call, a prayer, a help, or a kind note) to show Christ’s love without waiting for reciprocation.
