We Love One Another

How Shall We Love

Sixth Sunday of Easter, Year B

Every single one of us can probably use a refresher on what it means for us as Christians to bear fruit. That is what this week’s text is all about!

Eternal joy is a gift that comes from Jesus – from abiding in him. He says that to abide in him is to obey his commandment to love one another as he loved us – to love as he loves. It is to look outward. Joy is found not in the contentment of satisfying our own desires, but in service to those we love as he loves. It is in acts of service; it is in healing and helping; it is in holding shaky hands and calming troubled hearts; it is in honoring those we love.
