Loving One Another

Even When It's Hard

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.— John 13:34

I’m sure you’ll agree that it is not hard to find disunity and division in our world today. Cable news shows and social media platforms have become a hornet’s nest of hostility and hate. Sadly, even those of us in the church can sometimes adapt this attitude. But before Jesus left this earth, He gave His followers a new commandment: “Love one another” (John 13:34). What does that mean? And who did Jesus mean by “one another”? This month, we will take a close look at more than 30 “one another” passages in the New Testament. From this study, we will:

  • Understand what the Bible means by the words “one another”
  • Learn how we can imitate Christ’s love as we interact with others
  • Cultivate an attitude of humility as we seek to understand others

Have you ever been the recipient of an act of love that moved your heart deeply? Imagine how the disciples felt when Jesus washed their feet and then spoke these three words to them: “Love one another” (v. 17). They had just completed their Passover meal when Jesus urged them to be bonded together by love.

Is it okay to lie to your spouse? Your boss? Your friends? College students self-reported telling, on average, two lies a day. They estimated one lie in every three social interactions. And those “occasional” lies add up! It is estimated that by the time a person reaches age 50, they have told approximately 43,800 lies. While lying may be common, lies can harm and even destroy relationships.
