John 15:12 - Memory Verse Meditations

John 15:12 – “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.”

Verse 10 says that abiding in Jesus means keeping His commandments. Well, here is His COMMANDMENT: Love one another as He has loved you. The Christian life is marked by our love for one another. A true follower of Christ loves Jesus and loves Jesus’ people. Meditate on how much and in what ways Jesus has loved you. Consider His dying love. Then, ponder how you can express your love for your fellow church members this week.

Memorization tip: 15:12-14 are 3 pretty short verses. 15:15-16 are relatively long. Work hard at getting 15:9-14 down really well so that you are ready to tackle the longer verses when they come.
