A GREATER LOVE

Cross Christian Stock Images“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend.” John 15:13

Wow, let’s think about that for a moment, not only is this the
ultimate sacrifice but it is also real love being demonstrated!

While so many people will be trying this week to find the right words or ways to say I love you. We can follow the example of Christ, who gave the greatest example of love not in words but in demonstration.

Love is after all an action word. Let us focus on demonstrating real love. We can begin by laying down our life for a friend or someone in need,of course not literally but we can put someone else’s needs above our own. We can give of ourselves, our time, our talents, our resources, our substance to help someone in need. We can do it with a pure  heart, expecting nothing in return. Find a way to love someone this week.

GOD’S LOVE = REAL LOVE

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son …” John 3:16

Cross Christian Stock ImagesDuring the next few days, most of the world will become pre-occupied with finding ways to express their love. Some will do that by purchasing gifts, such as flowers, candy, jewelry and other personal items, some will find other creative ways to express how they feel a about someone special.

What is real love? REAL LOVE is not based on our feelings or emotions. REAL LOVE is unconditional. The greatest example of unconditional love came from our Heavenly father, his love for all mankind was so great,that He gave His only son to be a sacrifice. To lay down His life for all mankind, while we were yet living in sin with no thoughts towards God. God gave us the greatest gift of all, salvation. That is REAL LOVE!
