John 15,9-17

John 15, 9-17

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 15,9-17

Jesus said to his disciples: “As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love.
If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.”
This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.
No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
You are my friends if you do what I command you.
I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father.
It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit that will remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he may give you.
This I command you: love one another.”

The Father, God, loves you

1) God loves you: This is the key to Christianity. Know that you are loved by God and that you are his property… not by purchase or by auction; he loves you and seeks you constantly, as well as trying to remind you that He loves you just as you are.

2) The commandments: Here it shows us that the commandment is not to be complied with out of fear, like following the code of law. God’s commandment is to be respected and complied with because of Love, and your relationship with God. The commandments are the strength of that love, and the manifestation of your love for God.

3) Give your life: There is no greater love than that which gives up life. And here on earth you and I are called to give life: parents give their lives, priests give their lives, religious give their lives, etc. How you give it will depend on the way you love, and what satsfies that love.

God-bless you in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Never forget, heaven is our goal !
