Jesus said to his disciples: ‘As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Remain in my love. If you keep my commandments you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your joy be complete.’
Jesus speaks explicitly of his love for us. As he
has been loved, so we are loved by his. He speaks of keeping commandments, but
in this context this is not about rules. It is a response of the heart. True
love always has to be a freely given response of the heart. We cannot be
compelled to love nor can we compel anyone to love us. This love of God is about
making us truly joyful. To be truly joyful means to be at peace, even in times
of difficulty. Knowing that we are loved is what carries us through life.
