The Sunday evening home group we attend has beed watching Andy Stanley videos.   He is an interesting and enlightening teacher. 

He has been explaining that Jesus called His followers Disciples,  and He reminded us, that Jesus gave us:  (search Andy Stanley on U tube)
John 13:34
King James Version (KJV)
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”

He said people would know we are His Disciples if we learn to love, as He loved.

I am going to give you my take of his message. …. (my apologies are in order).

   》To learn to love as Jesus loved, we must look at His actions of love.

Jesus gave truth, you are a sinner followed by grace, I will forgive you.

He brought up as examples the woman at the well and the woman caught in adultery.

The love of Jesus :
John 1:14
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

Jesus was full of grace, (grace is salvation,  forgiveness, mercy, acceptance ) and full of truth. (He not only sees your sin but helps you to recognize it).

He always gives you a way to escape. ..a path to forgiveness, acceptance, salvation.

Please look for the Teaching by Andy Stanley,  it is his revelation,  and explains it so well.  I  think the title was:  Gracie meets Truthy
