Description

• Thomas A. Jackson was the pastor of the Wake Forest Baptist Church. Jackon is announced as the Chapel speaker (0:00-0:10). Two hymns are played (0:11-5:15). Scripture reading is followed by a hymn (cut) (5:16-5:54). A request for prayer is announced, and a word of prayer is given (5:55-9:22). Jackson is introduced (9:23-11:18). The choir sings an anthem (11:19-13:21). Jackson speaks of an actor, Paul Alexander, who came to know Jesus and memorized the whole Gospel of John (13:22-15:01). He then reads from John 13, focusing on Jesus’ commandment to His disciples to love one another (15:02-16:06). Jackson discusses the topic of us, as Christians, representing Jesus faithfully (16:07-21:17). He reveals that many churches claim to be true representatives of Christ based on certain criteria (21:18-22:23). Not one of the criteria includes loving one another as Jesus loves us (22:24-23:42). He then tells a story of love among comrades, comparing it to how Jesus wants us to love one another (23:43-26:33). Jackson asks the congregation to pray to God to help them love one another as Jesus so that they may become as one (26:34-27:59). He concludes with a word of prayer (28:00-30:09).
