Honk If You Love Jesus - Love Worth Finding - October 23

October 23, 2023 – Honk If You Love Jesus
John 13:34-35
Sermon: 2117 The Legacy of Love, Part 1

Pray Over This

“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
John 13:34-35

Ponder This

You don’t have to have a lapel pin or bumper sticker to prove you are a Christian—love is the greatest testimony.

A man out in California was one of these guys who was always on time. One morning he woke up, went out, and tried to start his car, and the battery was dead. He asked his wife, “Can I take your car?” She said, “Yes.” By this time, he was stuck driving in heavy traffic. He was inching along and then came to a dead stop and the man behind him honked the horn. He was frustrated but he let it go. After a while, the man behind him blew the horn again. Then the man tapped the horn the third time.

The man threw open the car door, went back to the driver behind him, and tapped on the window. He yelled at the driver, “Listen, you, I don't want you to blow your horn at me one more time. I can’t move my car!” The driver behind him said, “Doesn’t that bumper sticker mean what it says? Honk if you love Jesus?” He said, “Oh, I do love Jesus. I am so sorry.” This is a funny example, but we all need to take the saint off the dashboard and put him behind the steering wheel. We need to stop showboating our Christian title and begin living it out in our love.

• When are you most likely to be guided by your emotions instead of by love?
• When have you seen an example of someone loving others well?
