Strong's Greek & Hebrew Lexicon

On the last night of his earthly life, Jesus shared some parting comments with his disciples:

That single Greek word (“al-lay-lone”) is found dozens of times throughout the rest of the New Testament. As we study it, we find many commands (“encourage, honor, accept, pray for, bear one anothers' burdens”), all of which add up to the way in which we are to love, to treat one another. And Jesus said that this loving -- perhaps more than any other trait -- would be the message to a watching world that we belong to Him.

In this series we explore what it means to treat one another the way Jesus treated the disciples and the way He loves us today. This “body language” can only be spoken by us as the Holy Spirit moves in our lives to enable and energize us, because this is not the way we “naturally” act. But as He works among us, we slowly become the kind of community the world is longing to see.
