  1. What does this passage show me about God?

    • What new commandment does Jesus give, and how does he say everyone will recognize his disciples?

    • Where have you experienced the kind of love Jesus is describing?

  4. Who will I tell?

Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).

Pray

Jesus, you loved your disciples to the very end and told them to love one another the same way. Fill me with your love so that people can tell I belong to you.
