Sixth Sunday of Easter
Don’t Miss the Point
Jesus said to his disciples: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”
John 14:15

“TL;DR” is an internet slang phrase that means, “Too long; didn’t read.” It’s used as a mild insult to the long-winded but also as a jokey introduction to a summary of a longer point.

Well, Jesus gives us a “TL;DR” here in case we can’t be bothered—or have forgotten—all that he teaches us in his words and deeds: in case we’ve gotten distracted by issues, arguments or even mystical quests, in case we’ve arrived in a place where we excuse our self-serving views and pursuits with the perennial, “Well, I’m sure what Jesus really meant was…

TL;DR? Love. Love God, love others. Just—love.

Jesus, fill me with your love and help me love others as you do.

At BSF children/student program, we apply Redemptive Discipline to train children and students to love God and others ✝️ *** “Redemptive” comes from Ephesians 1:7, “In Him (Jesus) we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,” *** “Discipline” comes from Hebrews 12:10, “For They (earthly fathers) disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but He (God the Father) DISCIPLINES us for our good, that we may share His holiness!” *** Discipline means to train, to instruct and to correct! It starts with how an adult responds to a child...

Happy and blessed Mother’s Day to y’all ❤️ Proverbs 31:30-31, “Charm can fool you. Beauty fades. But a woman who has respect for the Lord should be praised. Give her honor for all that her hands have done. Let everything she has done bring praise to her at the city gate!” Amen ✝️

I believe the love of God is summed up in Matthew 7:12 “In everything, do to others what you would want them to do to you. This is what is written in the Law and in the Prophets.” —- Known as The Golden Rule, this ethical guideline is found in many religions and philosophies throughout history. —- God asks us to be channels of His love for a searching humanity. —- Freely we receive it, to freely and unconditionally pass it on, giving thanks and credit to God.
