God's Acre On the Go: Love is a Commandment Not an Option
Sunday May 18, 2025
Sunday May 18, 2025
On the night before his crucifixion, Jesus offers his disciples one final commandment—not a plan, not a parable, but a legacy: “Love one another as I have loved you” (John 13:34). In this message, we explore what it means to take that command seriously—not as a gentle suggestion, but as the defining mark of the Christian life. This is not sentimental love; it’s love that shows up, bears burdens, washes feet, crosses boundaries, and costs something. In a time when division is loud and compassion often quiet, this kind of love is how the world will know who we are—and whose we are.
