John 15:9-17
As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. If you
keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my
Father’s commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to
you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved
you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s
friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call
you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the
master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known
to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not choose
me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that
will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my
name. I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.
HOSPITALITY: Today hosted by the Staff Parish Relations Committee
