Almost nothing marks the life of a follower of Jesus more than the love they show for the world around them. Yet, if we're honest with ourselves, there are certain moments in life where love is incredibly difficult. Each of us knows what it's like to have a person that's hard to love or a behavior that's challenging to respond to in a loving way. Jesus knows exactly what this is like, and He also knows that the renewal of our spiritual lives often involves a revival in our capacity to love. In John 13, Jesus not only gives us an example of the love we need, but also a simple principle for living it out.
