By This Everyone will Know

John 13:35 (New International Version 2011)

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

Jesus is speaking here. People will know that we follow Him by our love for one another.

How are we doing? How are we doing in America?

If we judge by how well we “get along,” we aren’t doing so well. Christians have divided a thousand and one ways. Just look at all the different churches with different signs everywhere you go. We must not like one another much.

If we judge by how well we “agree to disagree,” we are doing well. I haven’t seen any name-your-favorite-denomination members burning buildings that belong to name-your-second-favorite-denomination.

How do you judge? I am happy to not be the judge.
