"Let...Love Continue"

"Let brotherly love continue."  (Hebrews 13:1)

This is very close to the "shortest verse" in the Scriptures.  It is clear, succinct.  The command to love is in other portions of the "
God-Breathed" Word.  Of love here, however, the Holy Spirit says, "Love [must] continue."  Love must continue in marriages, in families, in churches, in communities.  Even though the Greek word in our text is the word for friendship, the love for the brethren, it is no less significant.  Just watch our Lord Jesus moving among men and society with the disciples, men who showed the same traits as modern Christians.  This is how it is done. 

We all get exasperated at times with people.  But the command has no conditions.  It is not, "
Let brotherly love continue" as long as everyone demonstrates "brotherly love" to you, is to your liking, agrees with you, does everything you wish--------- just, "Let brotherly love continue."
Perhaps to give us a little practical approach, we could say, "Let patience continue."

Father, in Jesus' Name, remind me every time I minimize Your commands.  Amen.
