River of Life Christian Church ︳www.rolcc.net/english John 17: 22-26    "....... I in them and you in me-so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world."                  The Lord said here, "Then the world will know that you have loved them even as you have loved me." God the Father loves Jesus is perfectly justified, because this is his only begotten son,  but if God the father loves us as he loves Jesus, this is worthy for us to think about. By nature people always love their children, but God reveals to us that He loves us as He has loved Lord Jesus Christ. Even so it says in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Such love is so hard for us to comprehend.                  Such love is beyond the love of this world, so it says in Roman 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." When Jesus Christ was nailed on the cross, it proves that God loves us with sacrificial love, because the world loves only the lovable, righteous and honest people, but only Jesus Christ died for us when we were still sinners, such love is beyond the love of this world.                  Brothers and sisters, ask God to help us come before God's throne; let Him surround us with His love. God not only gave up His beloved son to save us, but God loves us with the intense communal love among the Trinity to love us unworthy sinners, how precious it is! It is God's intention to use us to spread love in this love-starved world, how can we not obey God's commands, witnessing God's love?                  Do you feel God love you? Are you willing to share this love? Once we obey God's command to love one another, and the world, the love of God will find the vessels in us, overflowing from our lives. Are you willing to commit to love the people around you? Let the people around us, even the non-believers, experience the love of God today!                                 Pray with Pastor Tong           Dear Lord, thank you, we love because you first love us. We ask you to fill us with your love, let us not just enjoy your love, but spread your love from our lives. Thank you and we pray in the victorious name of Jesus, Amen!
