1 John 4:19 NIV: “We love because he (Jesus) first loved us.”
After the resurrection, the early church was known as “The Way.” Many people were intrigued with their new way of living, following the example of Jesus. Members of “The Way” smiled! They were helpful to one another. They shared. They were always glad to see each other.
Many found this philosophy attractive and wanted to become a part of it. The Way was adding to their fellowship daily. People wanted to live out what Jesus taught!
That’s still what we are to do nowadays, love God and love our neighbors. It’s not always easy and none of us is perfect, but our goal is to model our lives after the one who loved us so much that he gave his life for us. When in doubt, just do what Jesus did!
