Education in Faith

Sunday 15th May – 5th Sunday of Easter

John 13: 31–35

Jesus issues a new commandment, love one another.

What does it mean to love as Jesus loved? The love Jesus poured out to all was an expression of God’s love that has been poured out to all creation since the very beginning and continues to be poured out today. God’s love doesn’t keep score. When humankind turned its back on God, God’s love continued to call them back to faithful relationship. God’s love is not conditional – whatever we do, God continues to love us. There is no barrier that we can construct that God’s love cannot get around. It is this sort of love that the new commandment demands of us.

Prayer

 

Dear Jesus,

Thank you for giving us new life through your resurrection. 

May Easter be a time of light and joy for our family 

and may we work together to be your followers in all that we do.

We rejoice that you are with us always.

Amen. Alleluia
