Live Love Lead | The One Thing Every Disciple Must Carry
What does it really mean to love like Jesus? It starts with humility, a willingness to serve, and the courage to get into the mess of life with other people. In John 13, Jesus took a towel and washed His disciples' feet, then told them to do the same for one another. That moment was not just a lesson in manners. It was a blueprint for how the kingdom of God actually works. In the kingdom of God, greatness is not measured by platforms, titles, or influence. It is measured by service. The servant is always the greatest, not the one being served. Grabbing a towel means being willing to show up for people who are broken, being patient with people who are still growing, and being present for people who have never experienced genuine love. Ephesians 5 gives us a picture of what this love looks like in covenant relationship. Christ gave Himself for the church so that He could present her holy and without blemish. That sacrificial, sanctifying love is the model for how we are called to treat one another. And it traces all the way back to Genesis, where the story of Adam and Eve foreshadows the relationship between Christ and His bride, the church. First Corinthians 13 makes it clear that without agape love, everything else we do is empty. Gifts, prophecy, faith, and knowledge are all good things, but if they are not rooted in genuine love, they produce no lasting fruit. God is not impressed by what we do. He is moved by why we do it. In John 21, Jesus asked Peter three times whether he loved Him. Each time, the answer led to the same instruction: feed My sheep. Loving Jesus is not a private feeling. It is a commission to serve the people around us. Topics covered include servant leadership, agape love, the meaning of Ephesians 5, the connection between the Garden of Eden and the cross, 1 Corinthians 13 in everyday life, and what it practically looks like to love others the way Christ loves us.
