For Friday, June 2, 2023:
1 John 4:19 NLT: “We love each other because he loved us first.”
John is hoping to teach others about his Savior, Jesus the Messiah. The prevailing attitude at the time was to look out for #1 – to care only about yourself. Jesus wasn’t like that. He required few material possessions and spent most of his time helping and teaching others.
When newcomers would join “The Way,” the new group of Christian believers, most were Jews. So they understood God and religious practices. It was the unselfishness that took some getting used to!
The best way for us to live is to do what Jesus did!
