This Sunday, Youth Ignition Live is finishing up our "Better Together" series by focusing on the "glue" of a healthy church: love. If we're committed to becoming a "body" and a "family" with deep, authentic friendships, we need love of another kind.
Love is more than just an emotion or a concept. It is primarily an action, and Jesus commands his followers in John 13 to love one another. Jesus also tells us that pre-Christians will know that we are Jesus' followers if we truly love one another.
Love holds us together: it binds, unifies, and strengthens us. We become more real and more effective because of love. We become more like Jesus because of love. We have an impact on our world because of love. All of this love, comes from God our Father.
This coming week, find a few minutes to talk with your young person about God's love and how Jesus followers ought to love one another. Here are some questions that can fuel your conversation:
•Do you think there's a difference between the God-love and People-love?
•Jesus said, "Just as I have loved you, you should love each other." How would you describe or explain the kind of love Jesus has for his followers?
•How can love lead people to Jesus?
Blessings!
