A Wonderful Explosion
In the book Kisses from Katie, Katie Davis recounts the joy of moving to Uganda and adopting several Ugandan girls. One day, one of her daughters asked, Mommy, if I let Jesus come into my heart, will I explode? At first, Katie said no. When Jesus enters our heart, it is a spiritual event.
However, after she thought more about the question, Katie explained that when we decide to give our lives and hearts to Jesus we will explode with love, with compassion, with hurt for those who are hurting, and with joy for those who rejoice. In essence, knowing Christ results in a deep care for the people in our world.
The Bible challenges us to rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep (Rom. 12:15). We can consistently display this loving response because of the Holy Spirits work in our hearts. When we receive Christ, the Holy Spirit comes to live inside us. The apostle Paul described it this way, Having believed [in Christ,] you were sealed with the Holy Spirit (Eph. 1:13).
Caring for otherswith Gods supernatural assistanceshows the world that we are His followers (John 13:35). It also reminds us of His love for us. Jesus said, As I have loved you, . . . you also love one another (v.34).
Dear Jesus, help me to experience Your
love more deeply so that I can share it
with others. Empower me through Your
Holy Spirit so that I can glorify You.
Love given reflects love received.
: Love is one of the most repeated themes in both Johns gospel and letters (1, 2, and 3 John). Johns emphasis on love reflects Jesus own emphasis. Jesus said that He was giving a new command when He said to love one another. But how is this a new command? The key is not in the what, but in the how. In the law of Moses, it was commanded to love others as we love ourselves, but Jesus set a new standard: His love for us. In the hours before He went to the cross, He would both tell and show that love. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down ones life for his friends (John 15:13).
