We Are His Disciples

 The love of Christ is a divine love, a love that streams to us from the heart of God, God is Love. The Lord Jesus was soon to demonstrate how deep that love was for all who receive Him as their redeeming sin sacrifice, for greater love has no one than this, that the Man Christ Jesus, would lay down His life for His friends.
 There is a legitimate reason that we are called upon to live godly in Christ Jesus, to walk in spirit and truth, to submit to the teaching and training of the Holy Spirit, and to learn obedience through suffering: "To love one another as Christ loved us,  by this all people will know that you are my disciples." A disciple is one that learns from Christ. No surprise that early in his ministry Christ said, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me," so that at the end of His life He could give a new commandment: That we love others as He loved us.
 When, in the power of the Holy Spirit, Christians put to death the lust of the flesh, the things of the world, and the pride of life, and choose to walk in newness of life, we walk in love. Only as we allow Christ to live in us, will His love stream through us so that by this will other people know that we are learning of Christ, that We Are His Disciples. 
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father we want to learn from You, to know You more, and to love You better, to walk in spirit and truth, to grow in grace, and in  knowledge of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We want to love others as You love us. Let our lives be true testimonies to the world that we are Your children, Your friends, Your bond-servants, and Your disciples, so that our lives may bring honor to Your name. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
