Quintet of Love
	The Son’s love for the Father, John 14:31 “But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do – Arise, let us go from here. (Jesus demonstrated His love for the Father by keeping His commandment re: going to the cross to die for us.)
	The Father’s love for the Son, John 15:9 “ As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.” Jesus said that the Father loved Him “before the foundation of the world” (John 17:24). Love is an attribute of God, and God is eternal – so even before there was any creation, whether spiritual or material, God was love – and the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were the objects of that love toward each other.
	The Son’s love to the disciples, John 15:9 (see above) – Jesus demonstrated love to them (and us) by teaching them, showing them God’s way, building their faith, equipping them to serve, & finally by dying for them on Calvary.
	The disciples’ love for one another, John 15:12 “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” We are to treat each other with the love Jesus has for us – act in the best interest of the other person. When we do that, we are being like God.
	The disciples love for the Son, John 14:23 “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” We demonstrate our love for the Lord by obeying His word.
