LESSON
3: MARKS OF A DISCIPLE 2
(Loving
One Another)
Main
Text: 1 Corinthians 13:1-10
Memory
Verse: John13:34
Introduction
The second mark of the disciple of Jesus is the mark
of love.
Jesus
intimate that what will mark out his disciples for the world to know is LOVE.
What will distinguish disciples from non-disciples is the mark of love. The
implication is that if the world can know you as a disciple, they must see you
exhibiting love to one another and to the world. From the main text, it is
observed that Love is placed higher than gifts, without love the operation of
spiritual gifts though is good but is fruitless. Love commits a disciple to do
the Master’s will and live the Master’s life. The marks of love are great;
·
Love overcomes evil
with good. Love covers the multitude of sins. Love forgives.
·
Love yields and shows
mercy instead of judgment. Love works no ill will toward any.
·
Love edifies. Love
prospers others. Love heals. Love destroys oppression.
·
Love breeds faith. Love
breeds obedience. Love breeds peace. Where love prevails strife dies. Love leads us
into repentance and change
