Loving Others: Not a Role, but a Lifestyle
This devotional was written by Jim Liebelt
"A new command I give to you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." - John 13:34
I recently saw a church advertisement in a newspaper that read something like the following:
First Church "God's Love Offered Here" One Sunday Only, June 12, 2005 Special Musical Guest...
Reading this, I laughed out loud. My mind had put the second and third lines together instead of the first two lines, creating "God's Love Offered Here – One Sunday Only, June 12, 2005." I'm sure the church didn't intend for anyone to walk away with the message that they would only offer God's love on one special Sunday, but that's what I came away with! Still, reflecting further on the ad, it occurred to me that withholding God's love from others is all too common for us, who consider ourselves to be followers of Christ.
If you are at all like me, it seems far too easy to compartmentalize our lives into the different roles we play: employee, student, father, mother, husband, wife, son, daughter, friend, consumer, teammate, neighbor, Christian.
Do any of the following sound familiar?
Jesus didn't call his followers to play a role on Sundays or to love others when it is convenient. His own example shows us time and again that love is a lifestyle to be lived 24/7. He took time out from his teaching to reach out and heal a crippled woman. He singled out a despised tax collector from the crowds to build a relationship with Him. His heart went out to a widow whose son had died, so He brought the son back to life and restored him to his mother. And ultimately, He suffered a criminal's death to offer forgiveness of sins to each one of us. No, Jesus does not call us to play an occasional loving role, but rather He calls us to live a lifestyle of love. Today, may you take up the challenge to love at all times.
