| “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” |
| —John 15:13 |
Has anyone ever asked us if we would be willing to die for him or her? Have we ever asked anyone whether he or she would be willing to die for us?
It’s not at all likely that either of these questions would have ever popped up in our conversations. Yet, Jesus was not only willing to dies for us, He did, in fact, die in our place. Notice what the Apostle John wrote, as recorded in John 15:13:
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
As we begin a new day, we should ask ourselves, “If Jesus was willing to die for us, doesn’t this indicate how seriously He takes His love for us?” No one would be willing to die for us unless He loved us enormously.
Perhaps, we should see what Jesus has done as an indication of how significantly the life, death, and resurrection of our Savior truly exists in and permeates our lives. Is it too much to ask that we dedicate our lives to serving Him? I think not.
