If you love me, show me!



Sixth Sunday of Easter
May 21, 2017
“If you love me, show me!”

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”  If you love me!  That seems like a very interesting statement, and yet, I think it simply means, “If you love me, show me you do.”  How often do I hear two people who are in love telling each other that they love one another, and yet, the real test is in our actions.  If you love me, prove it.  If you love me show it in the way you treat me, in the way you live your life.  We forget sometimes that it is not enough to just say, “I love Jesus” or “Jesus is Lord and Savior of my life.”  How we live our life does make a difference.  “If you love me, show me!”
