Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, Glorious Redeemer of the Human Race, incarnate Second Divine Person of the most Holy Trinity, and Sovereign King of all Creation, didn’t ask us to love one another.
HE COMMANDED IT.
HE COMMANDED IT.
“This I command you, to love one another” (Jn 15:17).

His command wasn’t a mere platitude. He showed us what it meant.

I’m serious. Do not like, comment on, or retweet any part of this thread without meditating deeply on the command to love one another. I’m gonna go do it right now.
