Greater LoveJohn 15:13
No. 118Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.John 15:13
Jesus said this the night before He did it. He wasn't speaking theoretically — He was describing what He was about to do. This is the gold standard of love: not what you feel, but what you sacrifice. Not what you gain, but what you give.
Reflect
Who in your life are you currently laying down your preferences, time, or comfort for? Who needs that from you?
Prayer
Jesus, thank You for the ultimate sacrifice. Help me love with that same self-giving spirit in the ordinary moments of my day. Amen.
