How are you blessed in your life?

How do you release heaven's blessing by loving,

sacrificially, unselfishly, humbly, without any thought of personal gain, personal fulfillment,

personal satisfaction, but completely committed to the sheer well-being, joy, satisfaction,

fulfillment, and necessity of somebody else.

Welcome to Grace to You, featuring the Bible teaching of John MacArthur.

I'm your host, Phil Johnson.

What does it mean when scripture tells you to love one another?

That you help your wife clean up a messy house, or that you let the other car take the parking spot,

even though you were there first, or that you take your kids to the park, even when you have a lot of work to do?

Those acts of service are all wonderful, but the question is,

how do those common examples of showing preference for others match up with the radical love the

Bible describes? Bottom line, are you fully reflecting the love of Christ in those acts of service?

Well, those questions are at the heart of John MacArthur's message today,

part of a compelling study called Love No Matter What. So follow along now. Here's John with the lesson.

I want you to turn to John Chapter 13, and we're going to look at the opening verses of this chapter.

John 13, we call it the humility of love, and that is exactly what it is about.

We are on Thursday night of his final week before his death and resurrection.

He will be arrested early in the morning, really in the darkness of

the middle of the night. He will undergo a false trial in the wee hours of Friday. He will be

executed on Friday. He will die as the true Lamb of God, the Passover Lamb. This is Thursday

night, the night before. We pick up the scene in verse one.
