Exhortation:
Jesus gave love as the unmistakable mark of a true disciple. Not gifts, titles, or positions—love. He said, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples.” Love proves who you belong to. It shows that the nature of Christ has taken root in your heart. Without love, discipleship is incomplete.
This love is not ordinary—it is sacrificial. It forgives easily, serves willingly, and gives generously. It is not emotion but action. It flows from the Spirit, not the flesh. True disciples love like Christ, not like the world. They shine as lights in a dark and hostile world.
Love breaks barriers. It heals relationships, wins souls, and softens hardened hearts. When a disciple walks in love, the fragrance of Jesus follows him. People encounter Christ through his compassion, kindness, and patience. Love turns disciples into divine instruments.
Love is the greatest proof of transformation. It shows that the flesh has been crucified and the Spirit is in control. When you allow love to govern your actions, you become a walking testimony of Christ’s presence. This is the heart of true discipleship.
Prayer Nugget: Father, please, fill my heart with your love and let it overflow to everyone around me in Jesus name.
