How did Jesus Christ love us?
We are to love one another the same.
“As I have loved you”

John 15:13
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
John 21:17
“He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.”
John 4:35
“Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”
Except that it is not. Christ is speaking about spiritual food for the soul. Christ Himself is the Bread of Life and feeding His sheep means making Christ known to Christians in all His fulness. Also feeding the written Word to believers. That includes all His teachings. Above all following the example of His sacrificial love. So it is a combination of obedience to Christ and genuine love for the brethren. "We know that we have passed from death to life because we love the brethren". This love is agape (God's love) and is called "charity" in the KJV since it is a spiritual gift. The greatest of all spiritual gifts.

Sometimes brother you really speak wonderfully designed and presented things and those things are noticed as value and appreciated. What you said here is definetely one of those times when Gods word is sort of just flowing through you without anything added or taken away from the totality of the message even though you haven’t spoken alot here , it’s a really precise and accurate summary of what the message is about
there ain’t a dadbern thing ran afoul with a little wise crackin in the hollers brother. But the hollers is low Pickens as grannies would say
Today this is a hard one to sell. Anything about obedience it will turn into "WAAAH salvation by works WAAAAH"
Excellent post ----Worth Repeating Folks ----------and Please pay attention to this in red -------as the love Spoken of here is the Highest love ------this love Agape loves the unlovely ------it never fails no matter what is thrown as us from our neighbour -----or life itself -----it is an unconditional love ------
Human LOVE Doesn't ----
I say ------God Loves us with all our baggage -------He loves us even when we hate Him -----He Love sent His Son to take what we deserve ------No Greater Love is there than This ------
Yes, the sheep are fed daily here,
We had more baptisms (full immersion) at the beach. The lawn area was packed with the general public (which means many different religions)
And some were inquisitive, especially the woman with the hijab and another with full body black hijab, asking questions, what are they doing? What does that mean?
Very highly unusual for that to happen, must be a sign of the times.
I know many of those kind have been converted. With God nothing is impossible.
You could feel the darkness, but God was glorified and He caused us to triumph through Christ Jesus.
We also did a procession through the lawn area with a loving powerful gospel message in between each song.
