We are told that our love for one another will show the world we are disciples of Jesus ( Jn 13:35 ). He gave us commands to love one another , love our neighbor as our self and even to love our enemy . Imagine being commanded to love our enemy . An enemy is someone who is hateful and hostile according to Strong ’ s concordance . Therefore it is no easy task to love them yet Jesus commanded us to . Jesus goes on to say if we love those who love us is of no reward ( Mt 5:46 ). The question I pose is this ; why do we not love each other ?
I come from a family whom most have served in the military and I myself severed for a short period during Desert Storm . The one thing I was taught growing up and then reinforced once I entered the military was you never leave someone behind . My grandfather who is a highly decorated war vet told stories of bringing wounded soldiers back to the medics for care . Many times soldiers would have to walk several miles carrying a wounded soldier on their back to ensure their well being even at the expense of their own personal safety .
With the command to love one another why do we “ kill ” our wounded ? Many times when Christians fall short of how we think they should live or they become caught up in sin we turn our back on them . Or worst yet , we join in to ridicule them or ostracize instead of being willing to do as a soldier does and carry them to safety .
Remember when a fellow Christian falls , we should be there to help them up . We should be there to encourage them and love them . Jesus did this for us ! It says He loved us even while we were sinners ( Rm 5:8 ). As a sinner we are against God and His will yet He chose to love us , therefore we should do the same for fellow Christians .
