Sermon Notes

John 13:33-35

In God’s Word, every truth has its importance. An important aspect of being recognized as a follower of Christ is the expression of love. Jesus encouraged His followers to "love one another." This is the hallmark that true followers are to be recognized for all time. This love is expressed in three ways:

I. REDEMPTIVE

(John 13:34)

1) Absence of Redemptive Love

(1 John 3:10)

Key Word: HATE

2) Presence of Redemptive Love

(1 John 2:10; 3:14; 4:7)

II. RECEPROCAL

(John 13:34)

1) Love Shared

(Colossians 2:2)

2) Love Shown

(John 13:34)

III. REFLECTED

(John 13:35)

1) We Are One

(John 17.21-23)

2) We Are Witnesses

(1 John 4.12, 14)
