This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. —1 John 3:11.
The original message? Love one another. The enduring message? Love one another. The most convincing message? Love one another. The most difficult message? Love one another. The clearest message? Love one another. This call to love one another reminds me of the convicting verse I once heard a preacher use about loving our brothers and sisters:
To dwell above with saints we love,
O that will be glory.
But to dwell below with saints we know,
Now that’s another story.
But it’s the story we’re called to write with our lives. Love one another.” It’s Jesus’ enduring message to us is clear: Love one another!
