The Crisis of Commitment

Jesus gives his disciples a new commandment that they are to “love one another even as Jesus has loved them.” They are to love one another with a sacrificial love as Jesus has modelled before them. The question is the same for them and us , “How will we respond to Jesus’ love and the call to love each other? Will we accept Jesus’ love or push his love away? Will we love each other or seek power over others?” It comes down to a crisis of commitment. Are we really for Jesus or for ourselves? Our answer determines the course of our lives.
