WHERE IS THE LOVE

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”

John 13:34 KJV

Yesterday, I listened to a program on a Christian radio station.  The people on this particular program was saying terrible, judgmental and criticizing words about people they didn’t like.  Not one time did these people say that Jesus loves the people they were criticizing.

Where is the love?  It is not a suggestion or an option to love one another unconditionally as Jesus loves us.  It is a commandment from Jesus, our Saviour.  May God have mercy on us for criticizing and judging one another.  Instead of judging and criticizing, we need to be praying for each other.

We read in the Bible.  “Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:” (Luke 6:37).  It is time we stop judging and make sure our own heart is in right standing with God.  Let’s start loving unconditionally and pray for one another.
