This past week we looked at John 14.15-21, specifically Jesus' words that "if you love me you will keep my commandments." We talked about how we usually read those words as a challenge and an accusation, as if Jesus is saying "put or shut up" or "prove your (supposed) love to me through action," but what he is actually saying is that emotion (love) always precedes action (obedience), and that the answer is not to obey our way into love, but to actually love and let obedience naturally follow.Also, it was Mother's Day, so we talked about how a mother's love spurns her to serve her children, and not the other way around.
