SPEAKING TO US

SPEAKING TO US


Today=Jesus SPEAKS to
His disciples and he
SPEAKS to us=
His MODERN DAY DISCIPLES


He asks us to
REMAIN in his LOVE=
But what does he mean?


“As the Father
Loves me=so I also
Love you=
REMAIN in my love” John 15:9


Jesus' words IMPLY
Faithfulness=constancy=and assurance=
But there is much MORE
To this BELOVED REQUEST


Check the word REMAIN
In the dictionary=
And you come up
With various MEANINGS=


“Continue=ENDURE=persist=
Linger=wait=last=”
IN MY LOVE


Of all of them=I
Think ENDURE
Is the most intriguing


We should all ENDURE
In CHRIST'S LOVE=for we
Shall MEET
Various challenges in this life


Particularly now=
In the time
Of this CORONA VIRUS


“May his name
ENDURE FOREVER=
May he continue
As long
As the sun” Psalm 72:17


“IF WE ENDURE
We will also
Reign with him


If we disown him
He will also disown us” 2 Timothy 12


“ENDURE hardship as discipline=
God is treating you
As his children” Hebrews 12:7


Yes Jesus=is SPEAKING to
Us today=
His MODERN day disciples


He is telling us
To REMAIN IN HIM=
To endure in him
To PERSIST in him


In this age=of Corona virus
What else can we do
But remain in him
ENDURE IN JESUS


“Let no debt REMAIN OUTSTANDING=
except the continuing debt
To love one another
For whoever loves others
Has FULFILLED the law” Romans 13:8


“And now these three REMAIN=
Faith=hope=and love=
But the greatest of these
IS LOVE” 1 Corinthians 3:13


Think about Jesus' INVITATION
Today=to REMAIN in his love


It keeps EXPANDING in both
Meaning and quality=
Let his love
CIRCLE AROUND
Your mind and your heart


Yes=Jesus is SPEAKING TO US today=
And he is telling us=
To love God=and to love ALL OTHERS


In Jesus' name=and in the name of our FOREVER ENDURING FATHER!
