Evening: Psalms 148, 149; John 15:12-27
Loving
like Jesus means ‘laying down your life’ for your friends. But you
don’t have to die, literally. Rather, you make your life available to
serve others. You give up the need to control things, allow God to take
hold of your life, allow the Spirit to move in you. Quite the opposite
of dying, this is really coming to life. It’s a marvelous paradox of
the Gospel … When you lay down your life, you come to life. It’s what
Jesus meant when he famously encouraged his disciples: “Those who lose
their life for my sake will find it.”
