Greater Love Hath No Man Than This?

 


John 15:13

"Greater love hath no man than this,
 that a man lay down his life for his friends."

I think this is a true sign of love that a person would lay down his life for a friend. I think it is even a greater sign of love when a man lays down his life for those who are strangers to him. 

I think the greatest sign of love is when Jesus the Christ laid down His life for those who are not his friends but strangers and sinners.

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

It is not only the greatest love but also the greatest gift. The gift of eternal life.

John 3:15

"That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
