Sermons on Juan 13:33:

A New Command

Contributed by Dr. Jeffrey Dukeman on May 13, 2019

Jesus on the last night of his life teaches his disciples to love one another. But the chief point of the text is the love of Jesus, a love that fulfills certain themes from the feast of Hanukkah (explicitly mentioned in John 10:22).

In thinking about our Gospel text this morning I was reminded of the movie 300. This 2006 movie was quite the success. Men liked the battles and I’ve been told that many women liked the abs. Whatever exactly the case, the film grossed about 450 million dollars. The movie is loosely based on the ...read more

Love Others Like Jesus Loves Us

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 30, 2015

When we find it hard to love our enemies or those who are different from us, all we have to do is remember what Jesus did for us. All we have to do to respond to what he did for us to is love our neighbours just like Jesus loves us.

A little boy wanted to meet God. Not knowing where God lived, the boy packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of root beer and started out on his journey. When he had gone a few blocks, he met an old woman who was sitting in the park staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to her ...read more

Love: A New Covenant - 11 Of 14 Series

Contributed by Russell Metcalfe on Jan 28, 2021

This day of celebration of family love is the day when we hear His greatest commandment— what some call, "The Eleventh Commandment." "A new commandment I give you," Jesus said, "That you love one another."

May 10, 1998 John 13:31-35 There are many ways to look at Mother's Day. I see it as an opportunity to celebrate family love. It doesn't have to just be birth mothers that we honor. At least we can think again about how important our loved ones are to us. Children often see things a ...read more

What Does Love Have To Do With It?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jun 25, 2023

John 13:31-35 contains perhaps the most remarkable command given to Christians: that love for others is the characterizing indication of faith for ''all individuals,'' denoting the existence of a genuine believer.

Jesus outlines this as a new commandment, utilizing His own model as the norm. In giving this charge, Jesus indeed predicts His looming demise and exit from earth. To cherish others was not another new commandment (Leviticus 19:18), but rather to love others just as like Christ loved others was ...read more

What Is This Thing Called Love?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on May 8, 2023

Love for God must always come before love for any earthly object of our affection.

Everybody knows what love is, right? Love is what makes you sit up all night assembling the bicycle for your daughter’s birthday, or leave the board meeting early to make it to your son’s soccer game.
