"By This All Will Know That You Are My Disciples"

 "By This all will know you are my disciples-if you have love among yourselves." - JOHN 13:35.

IMAGINE a married couple attending their first meeting at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah' s Witnesses.  They are deeply impressed by the warm welcome they receive and the love among those in the congregation. On the way home from the meeting, the wife says to her husband,  'There is something different about Jehovah's Witnesses-in a good way.' 

The love that exists among those in the Christian congregation is indeed remarkable.  Of course, Jehovah's Witnesses are not perfect.  (1 John 1:8)  So the more we get to know those in the congregation, the more likely we are to see some of their flaws.  (Romans 3:23)  Sadly, some have allowed their imperfections of others to stumble them.
