No Greater Love

“Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends.”  (John 15:13)

Giving a hungry person something to eat can be an act of love. Helping an old person back to their feet after they have fallen can be from a heart of love. Many other small or large acts can express love.

A young soldier threw his body over a hand grenade that had been tossed into a fox hole where he and fellow soldiers had sought cover from the enemy. He gave his life that his buddies might live.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, went to the cross, taking all our sins upon Himself, dying for us. There is no greater love than that.

No wonder we can sing, “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so…”
