1 John 3:16-18 NIV
[16] 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 and sisters. [17] If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? [18] Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
What is the greatest possible act of love? Flowers and chocolates may be good but there is nothing greater than the love Jesus showed when he gave everything and laid down his life for you and me. Can we imitate his love in our love for each other?
Lord Jesus, you gave everything so that we could come to know God and be built into your Church. Let us worship you with our lives today.
