Jesus gave his disciples a new commandment: to love one another as he has loved us. He defined this love as laying down our lives for one another. The ultimate example of this love is his going to the cross for the sake of mankind.

When we love like Jesus, we help others to see how Jesus loves them. This kind of love also enables us to live in united, loving community.

Our love and unity is disrupted when we refuse to lay down our selfish desires, so we must learn to live surrendered lives.

When we love like Jesus, people will see the love of Christ and the church will be healthy and effective.
