Love, like we were Jesus

The now common expression,
“What would Jesus do?”
abbreviated further
to merely WWJD?

Not in his actions
though that was enough
thinking deeper still
to why he did what he did

We are called
as his servants
to love like we were Jesus
to walk in our savior’s feet

Only then, putting on Christ,
would we know how to act
faithful to our calling
walking the way of the cross.

John 13:34-35
sermon, “The New Commandment”
by Rene Rand
“Jesus tells the disciples to love one another and that,
by our love for one another, the whole world will know
we are His disciples. Rene will share how her grandmother
helped her to understand this teaching of Jesus.”
