LC Day 37
John 12-13 in the Lent Challenge
“You must love each other as I have loved you. All people will know that you are my followers if you love each other.”. (13: 34,35 cev)
Jesus’ love simply blows me away. He says this just after Judas has left him to go and tell the Jewish leaders where to arrest Jesus.
All through the meal he has given Judas love and time to repent. He washes his and the other disciples feet, the work of the lowest servant and then gives Judas the place of the honoured guest at the passover table! Judas is the first to be served the Lamb sop (passover sandwich). This amazes me everytime I read it, what love.
This is how we should love each other, that’s what I call a lent challenge!
