"Love one another" (John 13:34); "Pray for each other" (James 5:16).

Jesus loves us. Jesus prays for us. If we are to follow Jesus, we will love one another and pray for one another. May the love of Jesus fill our hearts will love for one another. May the prayers of Jesus for us encourage us to keep on praying for one another. How can we do this? We need to learn to live in the power of the Holy Spirit, exchanging our weakness for the Lord’s strength (Isaiah 40:31). Strengthened by the Lord, we will enjoy more of His peace and His joy.

A red sky in the morning is the shepherd’s warning.” As I thought about the sun, my thoughts  turned to the Son. As I thought about the shepherds, my thoughts turned to the Shepherd.

We read, in Ecclesiastes 1:9, that “there is nothing new under the sun.” We ask, “Is there anything new?” Yes! There is. Beyond the sun, there is the Son - Jesus Christ the Son of God, Jesus Christ our Saviour. Jesus comes to us from above. He is “the Man from heaven” (1 Corinthians 15:47). He has come to earth for us: “God so loved the world that He gave His One and Only Son” (John 3:16). His love is brighter than the brightness of the sun.
