According to John 13:34-35 others can know we are Disciples
of Christ, by if we show love unto one another.
List some specific ways a disciple of Jesus Christ
might respond in the following situations (in accordance with John 13:34–35):
*Someone you know is ridiculed or made fun of because
of the way he or she dresses.
-In this situation I would show love to this person,
by sticking up for them. I would refute what the person was saying, and direct
the attention elsewhere. I wouldn’t want to put the person making fun of them
down because then I am just acting like the person who is being unkind, but I
would want to be a support to the person being made fun of. I would very much
make it known, that it is not ok to say things like that to someone and would
help to change the subject.
*You see a new person at church.
-The way to show love in this situation is really
simple. Introduce yourself and invite them to come sit with you.
Ponder the question, “Do people know that I am a
disciple of Jesus Christ by the way I treat them?” Select a family member,
coworker, or neighbor and make a short list of things you can do during the
coming week to show him or her kind of love the Savior would show. Then follow
through with what you wrote down.
-I can choose to show love to my roommates by doing
dishes that are not mine, picking up after them, and helping them with little needs
I hear them speak about. I know personally when people do this for me it makes
a world of difference.
