Are You Always Watching Out for Number One?

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

JOHN 13:34

Ponder This

What is real love? What is Christ-like love? It is selfless love! Selfless love means not being primarily concerned about “number one.” And selfless love is real humility. Unbounded love and pride can never dwell in the same heart! Only in pure humility can there be genuine love.

Many times, we excuse ourselves when we’re irritable if we’re tired or worn out. We’ve had a hard day. People have mistreated us. And we bark and snap at people and say, “If you knew what I’ve been through, you’d understand.” But Jesus, facing the cross, still showed love. Jesus, knowing that the hour was coming when they would crucify Him, still steadfastly loved them. If your so-called love cannot stand the test of hard times, you don’t have real love. If you just love when times are good, any person can do that. But Jesus loved selflessly under extreme pressure.

• What are some excuses you make for not loving people?
• What are some ways you can selflessly love those around you?
