Love Like Jesus
Love is one of the most powerful forces in the world, yet it is also one of the most misunderstood. Many people think love is just an emotion or a feeling, something that comes and goes with circumstances. The Bible, however, teaches that love is a choice, a commitment, and an action. Jesus set the ultimate example of love. He showed compassion to the broken, patience to the weary, and forgiveness to those who hurt Him. He loved without condition and without expectation, demonstrating a love that transforms lives.
Loving like Jesus begins with understanding that love is not always easy. It requires humility, sacrifice, and the willingness to put others before ourselves. In John 13:34-35, Jesus said, “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.” Love is not just a feeling; it is a mark of a follower of Christ. It is how the world sees His presence in our lives.

Practically, loving like Jesus means forgiving when it is difficult, serving without recognition, and speaking truth with kindness. It means choosing patience when frustration rises and extending grace when others fall short. Love like Jesus does not keep score and does not demand repayment. It seeks the good of others, even when it requires personal sacrifice. When we act in love, we reflect the character of Christ and bring His light into a world that often feels cold and self-centered.
Loving like Jesus also changes the way we see ourselves. When we practice selfless love, we grow in humility and compassion. We learn to put aside pride and judgment and to focus on the needs of others. Love becomes a habit, a lifestyle, and a witness to those around us. The more we love as He did, the more we experience the joy and peace that come from walking in alignment with God’s will.
Love Like Jesus is not just a phrase; it is a calling. It challenges us to go beyond convenience, comfort, and self-interest. It asks us to reach out, forgive, and serve even when it costs us something. Every act of love has the power to change a life, to heal wounds, and to draw people closer to Christ.
