The Lost Commandment: Have We Missed What Jesus Really Wants?

In his farewell to his apostles at the Last Supper, Jesus described a surprising new path to joy paved with a brand new commandment of love that is open to all of us. Jesus said:If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. --John 15:10-12Jesus' new commandment was part of a new life of deep love for him and others that results in complete joy for us and him. A joy that transcends circumstances, overcomes adversity, and stands the test of time. A love that unites us with Jesus, God, and each other.Whether you don't know Jesus, you've just met him, or you've known him for years, this book will help you experience the complete joy that comes from loving others as Jesus has loved us. It explains Christ's love practically and in terms of seven essential elements: joy, relationship, mission, humility, obedience, forgiveness, and service. Each chapter has suggested specific applications for personal devotional study. The book's appendix includes suggestions on how to create a Bible reading plan.
