A new movie, Jesus Revolution, was released in February at theaters in America. After watching the movie, I began pondering the powerful message of the story that’s based on a real movement of the past. So many people in our world have misrepresented what Christianity is. But the Jesus Revolution movie portrays Christ’s message of love powerfully and beautifully.
If you haven’t watched the movie, I think you would be uplifted by its inspirational story. It is amazing. It has the potential to inspire millions of people to become powerful vessels that share the gospel of grace and spread the message of God’s love.
Christ commanded us to remain in His love. It’s by His love that we are able to live a joyful, fulfilling life. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is completed and perfected in us (1 John 4:12).
The following scriptures in the Bible (John 15:9-17) are words the Lord spoke about love. Jesus said: “I have loved you just as the Father has loved Me; remain in My love [and do not doubt My love for you]. If you keep My commandments and obey My teaching, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. I have told you these things so that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy may be made full and complete and overflowing. This is My commandment, that you love and unselfishly seek the best for one another, just as I have loved you. No one has greater love [nor stronger commitment] than to lay down his own life for his friends. You are my friends if you keep on doing what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you [My] friends, because I have revealed to you everything that I have heard from My Father. You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you. This [is what] I command you: that you love and unselfishly seek the best for one another.”
May God use the Jesus Revolution movie as a catalyst for transforming the CHURCH into a powerful vessel of Christ’s love and bring forth another JESUS REVOLUTION even greater than the one in the 70s.
Hallelujah.
