On the night He was betrayed, Jesus gave His disciples a simple yet radical command: “Love one another, just as I have loved you.” In this heartfelt sermon, Deacon Mike Sander walks us through John 13:31–35, urging us to reclaim this foundational call to love as the central identity of what it means to be a disciple of Jesus.

In a world where Christian identity is too often confused with cultural or political labels, this message challenges us to remember that love is the true badge of discipleship. Deacon Mike reminds us that this love is not shallow or sentimental — it’s modeled after Jesus' own example: humble, sacrificial, forgiving, and deeply personal.

With honesty and conviction, the message invites us to look inward and ask: Do people know we follow Jesus by how we love? In the end, our greatest witness isn’t our theology or traditions — it’s the way we reflect Christ’s love in how we treat one another.
