What God did about His people problems

Sometimes you just get a double dose of people problems.

  • Uninsured driver totaling your (best) car
  • A “number-defying” fellow-customer in the speed lane
  • Someone under your authority challenging you
  • The local gossip “featuring” you
  • Two in authority not pulling together
  • A friend ignoring you
  • The driver “waving” at you with the wrong finger
  • That person getting mad at you…again
  • You speaking ill-advisedly

Sometimes you get more than a double dose.

What did God do about His people problems?

As I have loved you
As I have loved you…

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us. 1 John 3:16

The love of Christ, which passeth knowledge. -Ephesians 3:19

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. -John 15:13

Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. -2 Corinthians 8:9

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. -1 John 4:11

Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. -Ephesians 4:32

Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. -Colossians 3:13

For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. -Mark 10:45

Christ . . . suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps. -1 Peter 2:21

Ye also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. -John 13:14,15

We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. -1 John 3:16

  1. Thank you for this post. I think the last sentence is so profound. When I can let Jesus fill me with His love for others, it totally changes the way I view problems like you mentioned here. Christ’s love for me and all of us is so amazing and well-demonstrated in the Bible, and the fact that He can create that same love for others in me is amazing as well. May He have His way with all of us, and may we see each other as He sees us.

Surely you could add something...
