S – This is my command: Love one another as I have loved you. ¹³ No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends if you do what I command you

John 15:12–14 CSB

O – Commentary: 

One primary command was given by Jesus to believers: they must have mutual love (Love each other; this is repeated in v. 17). Christians grow by caring for and nurturing each other. The standard for that love is Christ’s example of humble sacrificial service: as I have loved you.

15:13–14. The most a person can do for his friend is to die for him; such a death is a clear demonstration of love. Jesus demonstrated His love

“John,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – This type of love is not unknown to us.  Most people serve and give sacrificially to their immediate family.  Most would say they would die for the closest people in their lives.  The shift comes when we realize others have value and many are “part of our family.”  Will we love unconditionally, serve openly, give freely and love at the standard that Jesus did?  It is a great challenge each day.

R – Heavenly Father, we choose to love You and others today.  You modeled this type of love through Jesus.  We want to follow in your example.  Give us the strength and resolve to love in a way that honors You.
