Jesus said: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (John 13:34) I heard a message recently that reminded me that “love” in this passage is a VERB not a NOUN. Love is not something you know about or know, but it’s something you do. It applies in marriage, parenting, church, friendships etc. Love is simply a VERB – it’s doing. And according to Jesus – for those of us who claim to follow Him, we’re to do it the way He did. Don’t just think about it – do it.
