Do They Know?

Read John 13:31-35

Today’s Verse: By this shall all me know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:35 (KJV)

I recently attended a military wedding and was impressed with the dress uniforms of the groom and his groomsmen. In both the wedding and reception, there was absolutely no confusion identifying those who currently serve in our nation’s military and those who were simply civilians. The pressed uniforms, the polished shoes and swords, and the pride with which they carried themselves all signified their commitment and love for our country.

As followers of Jesus, there is no set uniform to identify our allegiance to our Savior. Even though we can wear Christian t-shirts and place Christian bumper stickers on our cars, Jesus said that our world would recognize us through the way that we love one another more than anything else. What does the world see in you and me? Does everyone around us recognize that we are followers of Jesus or would they be surprised if we told them that we are believers in Christ? Let us love one another in such a way that everyone knows our commitment to Jesus.

Today, may everyone know that we belong to Jesus because of our love for one another.
