Loving Like Jesus

Standing Alongside and Giving Hope | Loving like Jesus / 14 |
In this week’s reflection, we look at how Jesus shows His awesome love to those who have just lost a loved one. We see how Jesus showed His great compassion and wept at Lazarus’ tomb. And we see the hope and joy that Jesus gave them, and us as He raised Lazarus from the dead, and reminds us that death holds no power over Him. Readings John 11:1-44

Listening to the Shepherd | Loving like Jesus / 13 |
This week we meet Jesus, the Good Shepherd, and we listen to how the Good Shepherd loves and cares for us so much that He lays down His life as a sacrifice for us. Listen as we find out what we can learn about how to love from the Good Shepherd. Readings John 10:1-21

Being messengers of healing | Loving like Jesus / 12 |
In this week’s reflection, we reflect upon one man’s amazing healing by Jesus, as Jesus heals him physically, socially, spiritually. Jesus’ healing is not merely a physical thing but touches people in our entirety. God wants to heal us. And He wants to do it through us. He has placed His Spirit within us and calls us to be messengers of His healing, taking His power and love to all we meet. How might we demonstrate God’s amazing loving power to the people we meet this week? Read more

Showing Love Through Grace and Truth | Loving like Jesus / 11 |
This week we look at the events in John 8:2-11 and examine the different characters in the scene. And we ask ourselves, how is our own behaviour and attitudes reflected by the characters? What can we learn from this about how to love others as Jesus does? Readings John 8:2-11

Speaking God’s Words | Loving like Jesus / 10 |
God calls us to speak His Words with power and authority through the power of the Holy Spirit, not to gain glory for ourselves but to glorify Him, our Almighty God. He challenges us to speak out against situations of injustice and hypocrisy. Are we willing to live this radical life as we follow Jesus? Are we willing to risk being opposed for speaking God’s words of love and truth? Read more
