"As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love." John 15:9. The words can be uttered so easily. But, love is an action. Love is a commitment. The Lord Jesus Christ was loved by His Father. Jesus understood that love. The love which the Father had for the Son would drive Him to do the Father's will. There was nothing more important to the Lord Jesus Christ than the Father's will. Thus it was so because of the love which God had for the Son. And, Jesus loved his disciples to that degree. Jesus loves us. We know that He loves us because of the action which Jesus has taken for us. Jesus left the heavenly abode and came to earth. Jesus took upon Himself flesh and blood because He loves us. He lived and died as a human being because He loves us. Our pardon from sin has been secured by the Lord Jesus Christ because He loves us. An eternal home has been prepared for us by Him because He loves us. The love which Jesus has for us is clearly witnessed in His every act. We must abide in that love because only through that love can we be victorious over sin and death. Our future is secure because of the love which the Father has for the Son and the love which the Son has for us.
