Love Demonstrated

By Rev. Dean Beaty 10/2/09

John 13:34-35 “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one

another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all

men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” (KJV)

John 15:13 “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down

his life for his friends.” (KJV)

What’s the best thing I can do, my love to demonstrate?

It’s more than just to do my best to keep my heart from hate.

To demonstrate my love for all fulfills my Lord’s commands.

Read all ten and you will see that love each one demands.

Jesus said, “A new commandment give I unto you.”

Love each other as I love you and My will ye will do.

Don’t be as the Pharisee who judged men by their class.

Each man is equal before God. Not gold while others brass.

Christ gave His all to you and me when He left heaven above.

The Law of Christ demands we love each other with His love.

He gave His life for those whose hate would nail Him to a tree.

This is how we are to love; as Christ loved you and me.

His love is not quite like our love that changes with the wind.

His love is always full to us and it will never end.

Even though He sees our life and knows our wicked heart.

Christ loves us still and changes not nor ever will depart.

Is this the way we give our love? Men’s wrongs do we conceal?

Or do we spread their faults around, their guilty sins reveal?

Our love will cover many sins if genuine and true.*

‘Tis what Christ Jesus did for me and what He’ll do for you.

I Peter 4:8 “And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves:

for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.” (KJV)
