Loving others can be hard. Especially those who are difficult to love.

 

Yet, Jesus, in some of his last words to his disciples, invited us to love radically – as he loved us.

 

Jesus calls this a new command. Which means this isn’t optional for followers of Jesus.

 

How is God calling you to love during this Lenten season?

 

As you meditate on this command given by Jesus, allow the Spirit to help you notice something from these words that applies to your own life.

 

Once you’ve listened to this Scripture Experience podcast, head over to the next episode and listen to the interview with best-selling author and podcast host Asheritah Ciuciu. We discuss her Lent devotional, Uncovering the Love of Jesus, and her honest experience of loving others sacrificially.
