How does Jesus link intimacy to him with obedience to him? a New commandment?

Love proves itself through obedience. If I truly love Jesus, then my life should reflect that love through my obedience to his teachings, guidance, and convictions. Most simply, I must therefore love others, as well. That is part of obedient love. I cannot love only God. True love of God leads me to love others. Loving others makes clear whether I truly love God and am willing to walk obediently with Jesus.

If you had a one-on-one meal with Jesus, what would you discuss?

I would want to listen for a long time. It is easy for me to think that I would want to ask for his wisdom and help to make decisions, or to ask what I should do with my life in the next few years. However, I think I would take the opportunity to listen first. It`s so easy to get focused on my own life and miss what he may want to say to me. I would ask Jesus to speak to me about anything he wished and then simply listen. From the gospels, I know Jesus` character and his way of talking with others, so I would expect that he would ask me questions that address my needs in life. He woudl ask questions that force me to examine my motives, emotions, goals, and my understanding of God and God`s Kingdom on earth. I think a discussion with Jesus would be the most engaging discussion I would ever have, and he would likely bring up the things I need to understand and deal with in my own life, as well as whatever encouraging words he wanted to offer. Jesus says in John`s gospel, I have called you friends. I`m glad to be his friend and share my heart and hear anything he wants to say.

I would be so wowed by my fortune of dining with Jesus that I would forget all my questions, stumble over every word, and beg Him to do all the talking. I would want to be a listener and a notetaker so I don`t forget anything. I would want to soak up everything Jesus wants me to learn from our time together. So often in life I spend my time running from task to task and not stopping to listen to His voice. I want to be like Mary, listening at the feet of Jesus and not Martha, running around Him trying to be the perfect hostess.

Tough question.The world may understand love as a good feeling for someone where nothing is expected in return, with our selfish needs.But the lord tells us to obey His commandements to get loved by Him as a way of response to what He did for Us, otherwise we wouldn`t have means to appreciate Him and continue our relationship with Him.
