Dear Covenant family,

 

Lenten Series: Undersold – Do you get it?

 

‘A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know you are my disciples, if you love one another. – John 13:34,35

 

Do you ‘get’ His Love? This verse claims that there is something very radical about this love. After capturing our hearts, it will transform any relationship. It will be such a radical transformation that the world will be amazed at how different this is from normal ‘loving and being nice’ to one another. Has Jesus set your heart ablaze with His Love? If so, it is destined to transform all your relationships! In John 13 we’ll discover that at first, Peter didn’t think a touch of that kind of Love was necessary for Him – he didn’t get it….. But Jesus convinced him that he had to get ‘it’ first, before he could pass it on. As we continue our series ‘Undersold’, may we be visited by His Love, so we can pass it on!
