Sunday sermon presented by: Glenn Geeting (5/18/2014)
GLENN’S NOTES
sermon- Jn 13, love one another
Intro- How have the last 6 weeks gone? Any palpable growth?
allelon- one another
Who is “one another”? Who was it to Jesus? Who is it to God?
How would God want to describe our relationships within the church? worthy of
notice, transparent, tight, supportive, impacting, high level of trust.
How would God want our relationships to be with those not in God’s kingdom?
same.
So desperately in need of real love.
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for
everyone else, just as ours does for you. (1 Thessalonians 3:12 NIV)
Overflow- whoa, dude, a little too much love there.
For each other and for everyone else.
34“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so
you must love one another. 35By this everyone will know that you are my
disciples, if you love one another.” (Jn 13:34-35)
1. Real Love
Command, not a request- “must”. And J repeated it frequently. 13/59 one
another scriptures are about love.
Story from the first Century church said that Jn repeated the command to love
one another so frequently that people urged him to teach something else. His
response, “my children, love one another.”
Why love? Because we are loved. That has to be at the core of why you do
what you do.
Adored, cherished, wept over, rejoiced over, sacrificed for, willing to die for you.
If your actions are superficial, the likely root of it is that you don’t feel loved.
How do we act when we feel loved? open-handed giving, no need to selfprotect,
genuine affection, great listening
Not feeling the love? Let’s get together. Let’s Study God’s Word together.
How to identify a real Cian?
Sometimes we can think it’s about some style of dress or code word- using
religious lingo:
Name some of our religious lingo: bro, d-time, sidewinder hug, quiet time,
marriage retreatnone
of it is in the Bible, but LOVE is!
1
(CONVICTION!) Let’s be clear- if your rels aren’t at the self-sacrificing level,
you’re not following J, following something or someone else.
VIDEOEveryone
will know! How will everyone know the love you have for Rob? for
Essie? they need to be in your life while you’re with other Disciples, in your
house, eating with you, studying the Bible with you.
People are dying for real love.
When was the last time you had someone into your house to eat together?
“my house isn’t ready” Get it ready, and stop waiting until it’s perfect, because, if
it’s like mine, it never will be. Love isn’t about perfection but a grainy, messy
affection.
Pop the church bubble. Get out of our comfort zone.
Ex. G- Chicago with course, riding the L to O’Hare airport, sad scene- blank
faces, everybody on their own device, not a word was said, only one guy in the
whole car even met my eyes, felt compelled to preach. Would love to share
some story of victory but I gave in to fear. Spoke for a few minutes with a new
nurse but it was nice and not spiritual. Nice but not loving. I’m sick of
cowardice, sick of shallow impact, sick of fearfulness.
Enough talking, lets get some exercise.
partner up, arm wrestling position. 30 seconds, put the back of the other
person’s hand down as many times as possible. Go.
How many got 0? 1? …
How did you get so many?
What do we learn?
1It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had
come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his
own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted
Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus. 3Jesus knew that the
Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God
and was returning to God; 4so he got up from the meal, took off his outer
clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5After that, he poured
water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with
the towel that was wrapped around him.
2. REAL POWER
Fear of looking weak. How to overcome this?
v3 J knew the power given to him by the Father.
Our insecurities bring out such hurt in our relationships. The pride, the
reactions, the backbiting, the gossip, cattiness.
Ex. Ed McVey- wife out of town for a couple of weeks. “I have some time and
want to come over to your house to help you.” My garage had not really been
cleaned out in 8y (since we moved in), but it needed to be done. We got
everything out, scrubbed everything, cleaned the whole floor, organized stuff.
Ahhh. Do we love each other enough to deal with their garage?
Love is an action- service. Seeing the need and meeting it.
You’re empowered! Don’t wait for someone else to do it.
The church doesn’t need some new program, or cool campaign, but LOVE.
What motivated J to do this? How’d he get his heart right to do the job of the
lowliest servant?
v3- He knew the outcome. Knew that even though it looked bad now, he was
on the winning team.
The origin of loving behavior is real power. God’s power.
How do we act when we feel powerful? secure, humble, genuine concern, great
listening, forgiveness, graciousness, faith, hope, love.
What do we do when we feel powerless or insecure? we hold back, we get
catty, suspicious, impatient, controlling exclusive, fearful, reactive, unforgiving.
Not tapping into the source of real power!
Our worship, love for God, is a lot the same. When insecure, we get selfconscious,
and sing like awkward adolescents (no offense to the teen ministry,
who generally puts us to shame with their boldness). When secure, we really
go for it, and enjoy a great time with God and each other.
6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash
my feet?”
7Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will
understand.”
8“No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
3. WE NEED LOVE
Peter- first refuses.
J- you need this or you have no part of me.
We’re like this- it’s hard for me to receive love, awkward. Feel like I don’t
deserve this.
Face it- we all need to have someone in our life that softens our callouses,
cleans out the toe jam.
Who are you getting together with regularly, open with? Someone that knows
you thoroughly, that you feel loved by?
Ex. Dan- “I want my friends to know me well enough to blackmail me.”
The word SIN has escaped our American lexicon. Don’t hear the word sin much
unless it’s said with a wry smile or chuckle. Adultery has become an affair.
Theft has become fraud. Christians pretend they don’t sin, aren’t sinful people.
Get self-righteous & judgmental
If we’re not having our feet washed by each other, we’re not part of J. Just
fooling ourselves.
Most American’s experience of “church”- Show up every few weeks, “they
should be glad I’m here, lucky to have me”, arrive during the second song, find
some seat, sort of awkwardly sing and shuffle, hear somebody talk, sit for an
hour, leave as quickly as possible before it gets uncomfortable.
NOT Love! Not following J, Not Christianity, only vaguely similar.
Love is about WHEN you arrive, HOW you arrive, WHO you interact with,
WHAT you say and do- The fellowship is more important than me up here
blabbing, the coffee hour is little to do with coffee.
Imagine that you were dragged into court: being tried for love, accused of being
devoted to God’s people, what evidence would be presented to convict you?
Concl- seeking repentance.
Who had a discipling time this week in which we loved and were loved by
another disciple?
Who this week has shared God’s love with someone that is seeking God?
You’re now officially appointed to go and love the people that God has brought
to you. Study the Bible together.
