Day 360 Does John state the obvious?

God loves us in sending Jesus. How do we respond to the love of Jesus? By serving others in need! John writes..."This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?" A question that may not have an answer other than appropriate action.
