This is the 4th of 4 devotions with the theme
"Love Is Our Highest Priority"
LOVE IN THE HIGHEST DEGREE
Song: A New Commandment
(Adapted from 1 Corinthians 13:13; John 13:1-35)
The book of John records the love walk of Jesus, the Messiah. As John records the last supper, he begins by focusing on the greatness of the love that Jesus had for His disciples. He described better than any other apostle, the full extent of God’s love for mankind.
“He loved them to the last and to the highest degree.”
Love was expressed through humility as the Savior washed His disciple’s feet. As Jesus continued the tradition of the Seder meal, He took the bread and broke it and He took the cup and drank from it. As He shared the bread and the cup with these men, He was revealing to them, for the first time, that He alone was the fulfillment of this yearly tradition of the Passover. His very words pierced their hearts to the highest degree of love ever shown.
“This is my body broken for you.”
This is the blood of the New Testament
shed for many for the forgiveness of sins.”
In the next few days, as He gave His life as a ransom for the sins of the world, He loved the entire world with the very highest degree of love also.
Father, thank you that Your love has not changed down through the ages. You love me with the same degree of love that you displayed to the disciples at that last Seder meal. You had me on Your mind when You were on the cross. Your flesh was broken and your blood was shed for me. I receive Your love. I receive everything You have for me. Pierce my heart with love. Give me a revelation of this divine love that will live through eternity.
