Legacy of Love

According to John 13:34-35, how can others know we are disciples of Jesus Christ?
By following the legacy of love that Christ left while he walked this earth. 


List some specific ways a disciple of Jesus Christ might respond in the following situations.

• Someone you know is ridiculed or made fun of for the way he or she dresses.

Find something about the way they dress that you sincerely like and compliment the person. This doesn't have to be done in front of those who were making fun, but can be done after everyone has left.
Maybe this person comes from a very poor family and wishes they had the means to get nicer clothes. Start a secret charity to shop for new clothes for this person and deliver them anonymously. 

• You see a new person at church.

Welcome them. Introduce yourself. Sit with them. Make it a point to continually be their friend and not just at church. Invite them to activities. If they come, make sure to introduce them to everyone and make sure they are not ignored or feel uncomfortable.

Ponder the questions, "Do people know that I am a disciple of Jesus Christ by the way I treat them?"
Make a short list of ways you can show a neighbor, family member, or coworker the kind of love the Savior would show. Focus on doing these things throughout the next week.
