Why do we judge Jesus’ criterion for authentic discipleship irrelevant? Jesus said the world is going to recognize you as he is by only one sign: the way you are with one another on the street every day. You are going to leave people feeling a little better or a little worse. You’re going to affirm them or deprive them, but there’ll be no neutral exchange. If we as a Christian community took seriously that the sign of our love for Jesus is our love for one another, I am convinced it would change the world. We’re denying to the world the one witness Jesus asked for: Love one another as I’ve loved you. (John 15:12) – Brennan Manning, The Furious Longing of God
