So let's see the magnitude of this love. How much if, we could love like Jesus, should we be loving

EVERY

SINGLE

PERSON


okay, lets look at the every single person scenario. At this moment,there are 6470818671 people in the world and counting. Since the days of Adam, I have no idea how much people has been born to this earth, walked it and then left it. Certainly more then 6470818671.

Lets try to love all of them like Jesus did. Lets again go back all the way to the time of Adam and Eve. God made the heavens the earth the sky and the whole package. And men. And men sinned. and dissapointed God. And so comes a whole generation of sinners. Men who do as they pleased, disobeyed Gods commandments, practically selling themselves to false Gods and idols, sometimes we please him, do things that honor him, worship him. Then a few good ones come along, Abraham, Moses, Noah, King David, but they aint flawless themselves. And so as time passed, we continue to sin and disobey him and dissapoint him, occasionally pleasing him, then back to the same ole bad cycle.

His response?
Sending his one and only son to earth, in the form of Himself to teach, love, be betrayed and ridiculed.
Oh yeah, not to mentioned be crucified in the most horrible way possible.
And He does the impossible by turning that horrible crucifiction into the most beautiful thing, ever.
He freed us from sin. He showed us a way, back to Him.

"As i have loved you, you must love one another."

The ability to love 6470818671 and more people like Jesus did.

astounding.

The act of emulating it?

Pretty much possible.



So how do we fulfill this commandment? oh by the way, its a commandment that Jesus gave too.

The challenge here is to do the impossible, through God as Jesus did. ahh...now that makes sense. Since God can do the impossible.
It still isn't a simple task, first we got to come close to God to a whole different level and understand Him more and more. And believe that He can give you to the strength to do the impossible. I'd be happy to love 75 people the way Jesus did, much less to say 6470818671. But I'll try, or I'll die trying. One point of remembering is that we shouldn't rely on our own limited strength, and instead seek help through his limitless strength.
