“You all: abide in love.” Jesus here is speaking to us collectively, and he presumes that we need one another. Because we must be reminded so many times “to abide,” we know that this is not always easy. Necessary, exceedingly challenging, possible. Only made possible by Jesus who calls us to this high mark.

Though God revealed God’s own self with clarity and fullness in the person of Jesus Christ, God’s witnesses have lived throughout the ages, before Christ and since, and whether they knew it or not. We see the ultimate evidence of God’s manifold witnesses, down through the ages and into the present, most particularly in one way. And that is love.

The larger life of Christ’s resurrection is a life of victory and joy and wonder. It is a life of hope that tells us that death, in any of its forms or guises or disguises, is not the end but the gate and door or something new.
