Evening: Psalms 148, 149; John 15:12-27
Jesus’s famous command to love one another as he loves us is credible because he loves us. But loving one another is hard. Jesus warns ... Love may even provoke hatred because Love inevitably confronts those powers that are accustomed to getting their way through violence. Those who love power hate those who love and strive for justice and peace. Jesus does not want us to be naïve about the tremendous risks and challenges of loving one another. Yet he still commands us relentlessly to love one another. Love’s benefits outweigh its risks.
