2. What is the Lord's

mission as a disciple?

 

 

1) It is the duty of a disciple

to act with love for

one another.

 

 

"A new command

I give you: Love one

another.

 

 

As I have loved you,

so you must love

one another.

 

 

By this all men will know

that you are my disciples,

if you love one another."

[Jn: 34-35]

 

 

[Ex] Samuel Rutherford

 

 

A godly pastor named

'Samuel Rutherford' had

a habit of studying the Bible

with his family on Saturday 

 

 

One Saturday evening,

someone knocked on

the door

 

 

and when he opened it,

a stranger had asked 

him if he could stay 

overnight there.

 

 

So he let the stranger in,

studied the Bible together,

and asked him the easiest

question.

 

 

“How many

commandments

are there in all?”  

 

 

"Yeah. There are eleven.”

Answered the guest.

 

 

“I don't  think so.

God has given us the Ten

Commandments to keep.”

 

 

He said gently so that

the stranger could

not be embarrassed.

 

 

Then the guest said,

 

 

“Jesus added

‘love one another’

 

 

as a new commandment, 

so there are 11 command

-ments in total.”

 

 

The next Sunday morning,

Pastor Rutherford heard

a prayer coming from

behind the fence.

 

 

He was moved by

the sincere prayer. 

 

 

After waiting

for a long time,

 

 

when the prayer was

over, he asked

 

 

“Who are you?”

“I am Archbishop

of Ireland ‘

 

 

Usher.

 

 

' Your piety has

spread so widely that

I have used this method

to check it out for

yourself,”

 

 

he answered.

 

 

Jesus said that love is

not a choice, but  an

obedience based upon

the commandment.

 

 

He said that love should

be accepted as a

command to keep

 

 

and act as a

commandment rather

than a intentional act.

 

 

And we can find the basis

of a command from the love

of Jesus on the cross.

 

 

Discrimination can arise

when you try to express

love as an emotion.

 

 

But, when we accept love

as a commandment, we are

able to give love to all equally.
