Domingo 29 de mayo
Estas cosas les mando: que se amen unos a otros (Juan 15:17).
La noche antes de morir, Jesús animó a sus leales discípulos a cuidar la amistad que tenían entre sí. Era fundamental que conservaran sus vínculos de amistad, pues vendrían pruebas muy duras y, además, Jesús pronto les encomendaría una obra muy importante. Los discípulos del siglo primero obedecieron a tal grado el mandato de Jesús que se les llegó a conocer por su amor inquebrantable a Dios y a sus hermanos. ¡Cuánto nos alegra pertenecer a una organización mundial que sigue el ejemplo de aquellos cristianos! Nosotros también estamos decididos a obedecer el mandato de Jesús de tratar a nuestros hermanos con amor. Sabemos que eso no es fácil, pues en estos últimos días, la lealtad y el cariño brillan por su ausencia (2 Tim. 3:1-3). Mucha gente entabla amistades por interés o se conforma con amistades superficiales. Si queremos estar a la altura del verdadero cristianismo, tenemos que rechazar esas actitudes.

These things I command you, that you love one another.—John 15:17.
During his final night on earth, Jesus encouraged his loyal disciples to remain friends with one another. The apostles needed to remain close friends if they were to endure the trials that lay ahead and to accomplish the work that Jesus would soon assign them. Indeed, first-century Christians became known for their unbreakable devotion to God and to one another. Today, what a pleasure it is to be associated with a worldwide organization whose members follow the pattern set by those first-century Christians! We are determined to obey Jesus’ command to display genuine love for one another. However, during these last days, people in general are disloyal and fail to show natural affection. (2 Tim. 3:1-3) The friendships they do form are often shallow and self-serving. To keep our identity as true Christians, we must rise above such attitudes.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
