“ I give you a new command. Love one another. You must love one another, just as I have loved you.

Your kingdom is built on what is right and fair. Your faithful love leads the way in front of you.

A huge cloud of witnesses is all around us. So let us throw off everything that stands in our way. Let us throw off any sin that holds on to us so tightly. And let us keep on running the race marked out for us.Let us keep looking to Jesus. He is the one who started this journey of faith. And he is the one who completes the journey of faith. He paid no attention to the shame of the cross. He suffered there because of the joy he was looking forward to. Then he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Slaves, obey your masters out of deep respect for God. Obey not only those who are good and kind. Obey also those who are not kind.Suppose a person suffers pain unfairly because they want to obey God. This is worthy of praise.But suppose you receive a beating for doing wrong, and you put up with it. Will anyone honor you for this? Of course not. But suppose you suffer for doing good, and you put up with it. God will praise you for this.You were chosen to do good even if you suffer. That’s because Christ suffered for you. He left you an example that he expects you to follow.Scripture says,“ He didn’t commit any sin. No lies ever came out of his mouth.”( Isaiah 53:9)People shouted at him and made fun of him. But he didn’t do the same thing back to them. When he suffered, he didn’t say he would make them suffer. Instead, he trusted in the God who judges fairly.“ He himself carried our sins” in his body on the cross.( Isaiah 53:5) He did it so that we would die as far as sins are concerned. Then we would lead godly lives.“ His wounds have healed you.”( Isaiah 53:5)

I have been crucified with Christ. I don’t live any longer, but Christ lives in me. Now I live my life in my body by faith in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself for me.

Then the light of my blessing will shine on you like the rising sun. I will heal you quickly. I will march out ahead of you. And my glory will follow behind you and guard you. That’s because I always do what is right.

None of our faces are covered with a veil. All of us can see the Lord’s glory and think deeply about it. So we are being changed to become more like him so that we have more and more glory. And this glory comes from the Lord, who is the Holy Spirit.

I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet. So you also should wash one another’s feet.I have given you an example. You should do as I have done for you.What I’m about to tell you is true. A slave is not more important than his master. And a messenger is not more important than the one who sends him.

Christ suffered in his body. So prepare yourselves to think in the same way Christ did. Do this because whoever suffers in their body is finished with sin.

You are the children that God dearly loves. So follow his example.Lead a life of love, just as Christ did. He loved us. He gave himself up for us. He was a sweet- smelling offering and sacrifice to God.

As you deal with one another, you should think and act as Jesus did.In his very nature he was God. Jesus was equal with God. But Jesus didn’t take advantage of that fact.Instead, he made himself nothing. He did this by taking on the nature of a servant. He was made just like human beings.He appeared as a man. He was humble and obeyed God completely. He did this even though it led to his death. Even worse, he died on a cross!

And anyone who wants to be first must be your slave.Be like the Son of Man. He did not come to be served. Instead, he came to serve others. He came to give his life as the price for setting many people free.”

Teach me to live as you command, because that makes me very happy.

May he rule your people in the right way. May he be fair to those among your people who are hurting.May the mountains and the hills produce rich crops, because the people will do what is right.
