1 John 2:7-11
Today's Scripture

John reminds his readers that the command to love one another is not a new one, but an old one. But the new discovery is that the light of the world, Jesus has come, so he can live in his light and love as he loves.

If we say we are followers of Christ, but harbor grudges or hate our brother, we are not truly following him--we are living in darkness. But if we allow the light to shine in and through us, our love will be evident to all. He will illuminate the sin in our life, and when we come to him for forgiveness, we can be restored and be able to love and forgive others.

What a wonderful cycle of love and forgiveness--let's live in that circle of love today.
