Love One Another as He Has Loved Us -Elder Jose L. Alonso
During the Last Supper, the Savior gave a new commandment to His disciples, saying:
“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.”
The Savior’s disciples were given a new commandment to do something more, something greater, and something more divine. This new commandment and invitation is summarized in the key phrase “as I have loved you.”
“Love is a feeling of deep devotion, concern, and affection. The greatest example of God’s love for His children is found in the infinite Atonement of Jesus Christ.” “For God so loved the world,” John recorded, “that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” “Love for God and fellowmen is a characteristic of disciples of Jesus Christ.”
By serving and forgiving others with real love, we can be healed and receive the strength to overcome our own challenges.
The pure love of Christ, which is charity, inspires us not only to act and provide service but also to have the strength to forgive, regardless of the situation.
**Thanks to Heather Godfrey for giving an awesome lesson. She spoke on loving one another, but also spoke on forgiving ourselves using an example from the Stake women's conference.
