Chapter 15 verse 12Jesus said to love eachother as he loved us. If we even knew the depth of his love and even understood one little bit of it - we would be brought to our knees. We should want that love to flow out of ourselves all the time so that others might want what we have. I get this feeling even just thinking about it - He died for us, his human life - pretty much torture, Even though we deny him, insult, him, sin to no end - he still loves us enough. So how much more should we be willing to put up/ forgive others for the very minor things that we are offended by. So often I forget what's truly important - and let th little things get to me. Rather than being more Christ like. Again in verse 17 He commands us to love eachother - I'd say thats pretty straight forward. And I want that love to show in me. the next 9 verses go on to say how the world hates Jesus for no reason - even after all those miracles. But it also says they have no excuse. (Neither do we)
Chapter 16 --> speaks about the spirit of truth and how he will guide us into all truth - and so then if we are really seeking truth and guidance (which is related) we need to rely on the Holy Spirit and believe that he will help us and convict us of the right thing. We only have human minds and our knowledge (if you can even really call it knowlegde) only goes so far. The Holy Spirit is the one that fills us up and is our guide and conscience - in this world of no real morals.
