?When President Ronald Reagan died, George H. W. Bush, who was his vice president during his administration was asked to give the eulogy.

When the aide rushed over to him to ask what he was doing he said, ''I was worried that my nurse might get in trouble.'' ??That story perfectly illustrates one of the characteristics every follower of Jesus Christ ought to have, a Christ like, humble ministry to others.

We're consumers, But Jesus has called us to be disciples.

MOTIVATED BY LOVE- Vs. 1-2
''Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed his them the full extent of his love.'' This was an act of love, pure and simple. There was no other motivation for this act.
