Jesus And Love Are Synonymous! by Myra Boozer

John 13:34, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."

As Christians should we be united in "Love" or in Christ Jesus? You may say well "God is Love." But love is elusive apart from the love of God in His Son Jesus. True love comes from God! But the love the "world" knows is tolerance (to put up with). That is not God's love! God's love is Jesus, in the fact that He gave His only begotten Son to die for this world, John 3:16. That is true love! If the world don't receive Jesus it does not receive love. 

Tolerance and love are two different things. We are to live in His love, walk in His love, speak in His love and rejoice in His love. Then, we can also die in His love. Tolerance will only take you so far but the Love of Jesus will take you to the end.

God, open the heavens and reveal your love to us. When you do, the world will see none other than JESUS, Jesus the Savior of the world, the Bright and Morning Star, the Rose of Sharon, the Beginning and the End.

Don't settle for a form of love or a counterfeit of love. It will fade, it will pass, it will not endure. There is NO substitute for Jesus, no matter how hard anyone may try to convince you. Do not be deceived! This love the world is talking about right now is NOT Jesus but a false Jesus, a facade (the way something appears to be not necessarily what it is). Rise up Church and show Christ to the world, for they have lost vision of Him. They only see what they want to see and it is tolerance of one another, not the love of Jesus.

There is NO unity for us without the "Head of Unity", the originator of unity. The God of Peace will come when the "Gift" JESUS, that He gave to the world over 2000 years ago, is received.

Rejoice and be glad for your Redeemer lives. He is about to reveal himself to this world, when He steps out on the clouds in the Eastern sky with the sound of the trumpet. Rejoice and again I say rejoice...
