SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer

Scripture: 2 John 5 And now, dear lady, I am not writing you a new command but one we have had from the beginning. I ask that we love one another.
6 And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.

Observation: In this second letter, John continues his emphasis on love. In his mine he could probably hear Jesus say, “If you love me keep my commandments.” (John 14:15&23) John was continuing the emphasis of Jesus. So what is Jesus’ commandment? It is to walk in love!

Application: My love for Jesus can be seen in how I love others. People can see how much I really love Jesus because they can see how much I love them.

Prayer: Lord, your presence in my life should be easily recognized by my love for others. Love through me. Amen.

August 25: Jeremiah 37-39; Psalm 79; 2John
