Sermon 04.28.13

John 13:30-35

Love One Another

John 13:31-32

31 When he was gone, Jesus said, “Now the

Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in

him. 32 If God is glorified in him, God will

glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him

at once.

John 12:23-28

23 Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the

Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Very truly I tell

you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the

ground and dies, it remains only a single

seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25

Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while

anyone who hates their life in this world will

keep it for eternal life. 26 Whoever serves me

must follow me; and where I am, my servant

also will be. My Father will honor the one who

serves me.

John 12:23-28

27 “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I

say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it

was for this very reason I came to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name!”

Then a voice came from heaven, “I have

glorified it, and will glorify it again.”

John 3:16-17

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his

one and only Son, that whoever believes in

him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world

to condemn the world, but to save the world

through him.

John 14:9

9 Anyone who has seen me

has seen the Father.

1 John 4:10-11

10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that

he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning

sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also

ought to love one another.

1 John 3:16

16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus

Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought

to lay down our lives for our brothers and

sisters.

John 13:34

34 “A new command I give you: Love one

another. As I have loved you, so you must

love one another.

John 13:34

34 “A new command I give you: Love one

another. As I have loved you, so you must

love one another.

Leviticus 19:18 18 Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge

against anyone among your people, but love

your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.

John 13:35

35 By this everyone will know that you are my

disciples, if you love one another.”

1 John 2:5b-6

This is how we know we are in him: 6 Whoever

claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

Romans 5:1-5

1 Therefore, since we have been justified through

faith, we have peace with God through our Lord

Jesus Christ,2 through whom we have gained

access by faith into this grace in which we now

stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of

God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our

sufferings, because we know that suffering

produces perseverance; 4 perseverance,

character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does

not put us to shame, because God’s love has

been poured out into our hearts through the Holy

Spirit, who has been given to us.

Galatians 5:22-26

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,

forbearance, kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.

Against such things there is no law. 24 Those

who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the

flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since

we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with

the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited,

provoking and envying each other.

Prayer Time

1. Do I need to ask for a heart of love like

Jesus? If so, pray. Renew your vows.

2. What tangible acts of love and compassion

can I express to those around me? Whom

does God want me to love this week? Whom

do I need to invest in?

3. Pray for one another.
