Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me. (John 14:21-24 ESV)
The four letter word fills the airwaves during midday and primetime. Love. "I love you." Never has a word been more overused and abused than it has in our society. Love has become the free-for-all for however you feel. Not so with Jesus. Love is like a Marine Sargent, requiring our obedience. If we truly love Him, we will want to obey Him. Our desire will be His pleasure. We will show our love.
