and they'll know we are christians by our love, jars of clay 2005 (originally by peter scholte 1966)

"And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love..."

I love the simplicity of this song. It is somehow both uplifting and rebuking, both joyous and broken, both optimistic and sobering. Which I personally think is an incredibly accurate reflection of Christian living.

Love - not intellect, not debate, not charisma, not a piece of jewellery, not even actions...

So far to go. So much more to do. To be. For truly, who do I really honestly love with the selfless sacrificial love that this is talking about? How many? Not enough.


"We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord.

And we pray that our unity may one day be restored
."
