Becoming a Disciple of Christ: Week 10

Choice 5: John 13:34–35. A New Commandment

According to John 13:34–35, how can others know if we are disciples of Jesus Christ?

·         If we show love to one another, including those that may be more difficult to show love to.

List some specific ways a disciple of Jesus Christ might respond in the following situations (in accordance with John 13:34–35):

-Someone you know is ridiculed or made fun of because of the way he or she dresses.

•     A disciple of Jesus Christ would befriend the person, regardless of what others said or thought. The disciple also would not or try to change the person, they would simple accept them for who they are.

- You see a new person at church.

•        Become their friend. It does not have to be best friends where you are nagging and trying so hard to be their best friend, but let them know you care. Always offer to help them find rides to activities, if they seem shy invite them to do something on the weekends. It’s really the small things that make the biggest difference.

Ponder the question, “Do people know that I am a disciple of Jesus Christ by the way I treat them?” Select a family member, coworker, or neighbor and make a short list of things you can do during the coming week to show him or her kind of love the Savior would show. Then follow through with what you wrote down.
