We live in a world where we are bombarded with catastrophic events. You turn on the news and all you hear about are all the bad things that are happening to people around the world. How should we respond to this? Jesus calls us to show compassion. In the parable of the good Samaritan, there is a person who is robbed and almost beaten to death on the side of the road. Two people, who are known to be people of God, go out of their way to ignore the man on the side of the road. It is the enemy of the one who was beaten that helped this poor soul. He went above and beyond the call to help him as well. As Christians compassion for others should move us to action. If God has given us the means to help someone, we should go out of our way to help people in need. Even though there are thousands upon thousands of people that need help we should do our part to help the one that is put into our path.
Jesus was firmly established in an intimate living fellowship with God and faith in God. His actions and teachings had their life source in God’s love. The secret of the life of Jesus was his connectedness with God. He withdrew regularly into a solitary place to meet and have fellowship with God. Jesus was always abiding in God.
In our day we find it hard to withdraw from our busy schedules to be with God. We are hard-pressed for time to listen to His voice of love and grace. When we take the time to speak to God, we are often not patient enough to wait on Him and listen to His voice.
“Remain in my Love”, we hear the invitation of Jesus coming to us. Don’t just do a hit-and-run kind of deal. But remain! Abide! Stay for a while! And listen…
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you…”, says Jesus in verse 9. That begs the question, “How did Jesus experience His Father’s love?” What did he get from God in exchange for his obedience?
Jesus’ connectedness with the Father prepared him for the suffering that was to come. Suffering does not equate to being far from God. We should be preparing our hearts for suffering. Throughout the New Testament, Paul refers to every Christian's suffering. The beauty of this though is that we have been prepared to suffer well by the Father’s love if we have been connected to him.
People look for hope in many places; their jobs, family, or finances. These things shift overtime and are all circumstantial. Christians find their hope in Jesus.

In Christian Convictions, Chad Ragsdale lists 6 essentials of Christianity. These are elements that are the difference between salvation and lostness. Each belief written below is the bedrock of our faith. We cannot be a follower of Jesus if we do not believe these truths.
- It is essential for a Christian to believe that God exists (and to earnestly seek him). See Hebrews 11:6.
- It is essential that a Christian believes Jesus is Lord. See Romans 10:9.
- It is essential that a Christian believes that Jesus is the risen Savior. See 1 Corinthians 15:3-8.
- It is essential that a Christian is saved by grace through faith and not by human effort. See Ephesians 2:8-9.
- It is essential that a Christian be born again by the Holy Spirit. See John 3:3.
- It is essential that a Christian perseveres in a faithful faith. See Hebrews 3:14.
You might be someone who has gone to church all your life. You might have even studied the Bible or taught it to others. But genuinely believing it is another question. Imagine if you begin to really, truly believe that Jesus is Lord. Imagine what might change if you let the truth that Jesus is the risen king sink into your heart to become its most bedrock conviction. Imagine believing with your whole self that you have a heavenly Father in heaven who loves you. If you know the essentials of the faith, it’s time to really, honestly believe them.
