WEEK 10 SHARE AND REPORT

John 13: 34-35

How can others know that we are disciples of Jesus Christ?

Showing our love is one thing, but the way I think we are asked to hear is a more Christ like love.  An important phrase in these scriptures are “as I have loved you...” Well the love that Christ has shown us...He did die for us, He did pay the debt, He did make it possible for all of us to return to our Heavenly Father, He did create this earth as a learning academy, He did rise again, so we all can rise. He’s done a lot for us, the least we could do is spread that love to his children. If you look at it like that (His children) wouldn’t you want your kids (if you have any) to treat other kids nicely, and with love, and vis versa, other kids treating your kids nicely? Who wouldn’t. So applicable to us as humans. It’s amazing.

Ways disciples of Christ would respond, according to John 13: 34-35.

A. Some one I know, is made fun of and ridiculed for the way they dress.

1. I’d say that depends on the way they are ridiculed. Are they being ridiculed because the dress up like nerd/dorky? Or are they being ridiculed because they dress inappropriately? If they were a nerd, I’d say “Don’t let them get you down, you’re way smarter then they are... You look intelligent and sophisticated.” If they were dressed inappropriately it’s a hole different ball game, “Yeah, you know what, as beautiful as you are, you don’t need to be wearing such skimpy clothing. You have other great features that show others how pretty you are...” Something like that.

1. I see a new person at church.

1. Well anyone ought to welcome anyone new into the ward. “Hi and welcome, I’m Brent, this is my wife and kids, Alexa, Jet, Kruz, and Flynn. Here are our friends Kyle and Jeree and their baby Chloe...where did ya’ll move from? Where are you working? Going to School? What for?” Stuff like that. People like to talk about themselves and they feel more comfortable when they do.
