John 15: 17 Jesus is in upper room with Disciples Maundy Thursday continued.
These things I command you, that you love one another.
Jesus repeats these same words again. Jesus knows us, and the world. Almost 3,000 years later, we are still struggling with these words and feelings. Instead of it getting easier, we seem to have as much trouble with it that the first disciples had with these words. We can not even love our Church family this way; and Jesus told us to love everyone this way. Being friendly, is not the same as loving one another. When you love, you love them even when they are not around, you lookout for their welfare. This is love. This is what Jesus wanted us to do. If you love people genuinely you are friendly as well. If Churches really took this to heart, homelessness would not be the problem it is now. To fix this problem we as Christians would have to work with each other to fix the problem one neighborhood at a time. To do this requires us to get out of our comfort zones, and come together as a community of believer's. Satan, also does not want us to come together; if this happens we become a powerful force and will be able to take back what he has been taking little by little over the years. If you are praying for revival, you need to read 2 Chronicles 7: 14. This passage calls on God's people to do this not new people.
