John 15: 9-17
"So the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you obey my commands, you will remain in love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this, Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead I call you friends, for everything that I have learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other."
Basically, Jesus makes it pretty simple for us. Can we just sit for a second and let that marinate? Sometimes in the midst of my life I make it about so much, rules and obligations and morals but here, Jesus makes following him so simple. Love each other, remain in God's love.
