Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples." John 13:34-35 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59dbc7c2cf81e0c47e15482d/1507745414569-G3QA4OL0JYWH8688QFOD/Untitled-2.jpg Home https://www.lovelikechrist.net/mission-index-impact daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1529723801113-0Q0UGL6NABMBRCQJT9HA/dc73a0fb3c1234c5ba681c94e9b601be.jpg Mission - Love Does Not Require Prerequisites. Jesus gravitated to the margins of society and spent significant time with those who were considered the fringe of culture. He did not center his attention on the most powerful, popular, or polished. Jesus did not place a standard on the kinds of people he would love and care for. In fact, if he did have bias, it was towards those who were ignored, discarded, or undervalued. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1529781604047-13QEB2A2MIL04KMYABUG/compassion.PNG Mission - Love is Compassion. It Calls Us to Slow Down, Stop, and Make Time for People. No matter how busy Jesus was in his life, he always took time to stop in order to care for people. This is powerful. In a day and age in which busyness consumes us, we must never forget that we have to stop (or at least slow down) to take care of others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1529787416159-GL120WL1XY0226ZR8TN4/140903-change-the-world.jpg Mission - Love Mandates Seeking Change For A Lasting Impact. Jesus was clear that love and compassion needed to cause change. He spoke up regularly for those who didn’t have the stature to be heard. Jesus regularly recognized that many of the systems that man had created lacked care for those who most needed it. Compassion must lead to systemic change and the other way around. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1529722975072-UNVHZCUQ9PVLRYTO7VGV/Dont+judge.PNG Mission - Love Does Not Discriminate. Think about it. His love was unbiased, generous, and protective. Even as God, He was a servant to us. He took all the blame and pain that was for us, and despite that forgave and gave His peace to all of us. He gave our lives meaning and direction, and a constant assurance that we will never be alone as we fulfill our life’s purpose of loving Him and the people He loves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1529779685573-ZVZOYO7QFUGUMG529MVG/love-is-a-verb-action.jpg Mission - Love is Not Just Talk. It Must Be Tangible. Talk was cheap to Jesus. He did not spend his time talking about how compassionate he was. Jesus embodied love in this world in a way that always considered the physical and spiritual needs of people. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1529785113282-KO5CZ3194QVBB5TJKK0K/img_2821.jpg Mission - Love is Sacrificial, It Causes Suffering. Jesus gave his life so that many others could find hope in life. He said that true love and friendship is embodied in laying down one’s life for another. In addition, he described compassion as an act of “suffering with” others. In other words, caring for others deeply requires us to live along side them by bearing some of their pain and agony. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1529786164364-L1CKBOUE2HG6PY7ZAD1C/image-40.jpg Mission - Love Must Be Transparent and Honest. Jesus was transparent and honest in the way he dealt with people. This kind of straightforwardness was not rooted in an argumentative spirit or a distaste for people. He deeply cared about truth no matter how offensive it may have come across, especially with those that didn’t understand his heart. Jesus’ goal was not to win an argument. His focus was on bringing something that would be most beneficial to those he encountered. https://www.lovelikechrist.net/donate-index-impact daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59dbc7c2cf81e0c47e15482d/1509386798700-GZN997HA8TMR0M009X0F/Untitled-3.jpg Donate https://www.lovelikechrist.net/blog-impact daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.lovelikechrist.net/blog-impact/example-blog-post-1-s9yx9 monthly 0.5 2017-11-09 https://www.lovelikechrist.net/blog-impact/example-blog-post-2-a8k57 monthly 0.5 2017-11-09 https://www.lovelikechrist.net/to-trust-1 daily 0.75 2019-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1559873981614-M20Q9JWMXIV7WURR9LSW/ByFaith.jpg To Trust https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1559873776381-QFD42D61CLVD5UR6P3CQ/maxresdefault.jpg To Trust https://www.lovelikechrist.net/videos daily 0.75 2018-10-28 https://www.lovelikechrist.net/new-page daily 0.75 2019-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1559872789100-P12P1NHVX8O4NYFBPEJ3/3-crosses-wallpaper-9974511.jpg New Page - The cross = love The cross symbolized our freedom from our mistakes, from our sin and reminds us that God loves us so much, so unconditionally, that he sent his Son Jesus to die on the cross, so that we could be free from our past, our mistakes and have a personal relationship with him. https://www.lovelikechrist.net/to-hope daily 0.75 2018-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1530377765145-6RE4VYP4GDM1GDP0X9LS/Jesus+love.jpg To Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1530377227754-GK1M5XL5LMPT34R77JOZ/Loving-Others.jpg To Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1530377044226-KBHMXXVZGWA41OROG2LC/Hope.jpg To Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1530374981694-OUVAP77FCRIS2JC4ZAE7/beggar_interior.jpg To Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1530374877056-SVDU5AM2MGME7PCMGG9B/homeless-738.jpg To Hope https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b22ee1145776e66ab7ec341/1530375025538-4VG0IY26OF9PHUZB1OPV/Homeless.jpg To Hope https://www.lovelikechrist.net/partners-impact daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.lovelikechrist.net/contact-impact daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://www.lovelikechrist.net/volunteer-banner-impact daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59dbc7c2cf81e0c47e15482d/1509983042007-RTMWNU37BD3WV9M6HT4B/_50A4130.jpg Volunteer https://www.lovelikechrist.net/volunteer-text-impact daily 0.75 2025-05-09
