Being Like, Loving Like, Doing Like Jesus

Jesus tells us a new commandment. Not to abolish the old commandment but to enrich what already existed. Jesus became the unconditional love for all of us as He died to save us, to bring us into that forgiving grace for GOD to see us and love us. John 13: 34-35 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love one for another." Jesus did many things through out his short life on earth for us. He washed his disciples feet, he healed the sick, brought back to life the dead, prayed for us, prayed to GOD, but my favorite is, He came to live with us, to be on earth just as we are, and ate, slept, worked, went to church, spent time with His friends, just like we do today. Oh, how I long to walk and talk with my Savior. "Whatever you want others to do for you, do so for them, for this is the Law and Prophets." Matthew 7:12 This verse came from Jesus, telling us that if we want to be treated kindly and well to be sure we treat others just like we want to be treated. Now not all people, no matter how nice you are to them, will return to you the same kindness. Not that they are not able to, but maybe they were not treated nicely growing up and haven't seen alot of kindness in their life and just don't know what to say or do. But just remember, we are also to love our enemies. Not just the people who are nice to us but also the ones who hate us, who talk about us behind our backs, who go out of their way to be spiteful, who fake being your friend while stabbing you in the back, ...well Jesus tells us to love them also. "But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Wave at those who try to avert their eyes from you. Always be ready to say I'm sorry, have a kind word, and spread happiness and joy among those who have forgotten what love and joy are all about.
