Picture yourself at Jesus’ feet with the forgiveness of God making all things new in your life. Mary has much to teach us about adoration, devotion, and living our life at the feet of our Lord and Savior—Jesus Christ. She came to Jesus with a humble heart and made wise decisions that were based on her spiritual priorities. The result was praise from the Lord.Gene Cunningham - December 21, 1998
Upper Room Discourse #4
In his epistle, John comments on Joh 13:34-45 -- the new commandment: (1) love perfected in us ( 1Jo 2:5-6). (2) Love is real in Him and in you (1Jo 2:7:10). (3) "In Him" with John means abide in Christ. Love perfected is the "stigmata" or mark of Christ (1Jo 3:10-12). (4) Love is manifested of Christ in our life (1Jo 3:16-17). (5) Manifest to the world (1Jo 4:12-13). (6) Love gives us boldness at the Judgment seat (1Jo 2:28, 1Jo 4:17-19). (7) Love will lead us to be intercessors for others (1Jo 5:14-15). Keeping His commands by the Holy Spirit (Joh 14:15-21). You cannot separate the work of the Spirit without scripture. Spirit is teacher (Joh 14:26-27); Spirit is witness (Joh 15:26-27, Joh 16:7-11). It's our advantage to have the Spirit as our guide (Joh 16:12-16).
