Command #5- Love Me
“Jesus commands that he be loved by the world because he is infinitely worthy to be loved. And since our love for him is the enjoyment of his glory and presence and care, therefore Jesus’s command that we love him is one more way that his love overflows on us.”
When Jesus commands us to love him, he invites us to enjoy more of himself, which is the most loving thing he could do for us.

“Jesus was a pastor… He knew his sheep and his sheep knew him. He drew near to them. He cared for them. He led them, gently. He listened and ministered to individuals. Names, not numbers, concerned him. He looked people in the eye, he touched their wounds, he wept with them, he entered their homes, he shared meals, he washed their feet, he taught them the truth, and he prayed for them.” pg 21
