Pursuing love is chasing after Jesus. This pursuit or chase is a continuous choice; an action that must be made every day and throughout the day.

Again, we are back to action. Our lives as disciples, following after Jesus, are lives full of action. We are told by Jesus, to love the same way He loved us! (John 13:34) Jesus is calling us (you and me) to love so deeply that it hurts. We should be sore from loving so much. As we love like Jesus, the depth of our love for each other will grow, much like an athletes muscles grow stronger through exercise.

Again Jesus has flipped everything upside down. His actions in washing His friends feet show love, care and serving. Then His command is spoken like a father to his children. I can only imagine how shocked the disciples would have been in this moment. The tenderness, the love, the passion would have been overwhelming!
