When people think of a “Christian,” they often picture someone who looks or acts a certain way—quoting Bible verses, listening only to worship music, or praying before every cup of coffee. But Jesus gave us a very different picture. In John 13, He said that the world would know His disciples by their love. This episode is a reminder that following Jesus isn’t about appearances or rituals—it’s about reflecting His love through kindness, patience, and integrity in everyday life.

Key Takeaways:

True Christianity isn’t about looking a certain way; it’s about living with love.
Jesus said the mark of a disciple is love (John 13:35).
Small, genuine acts—kindness, patience, honesty—speak volumes about who you are.
Being a Christian doesn’t mean being perfect; it means being transformed by love.
