No Greater Love !

                                         John 15:13
                         "Greater love hath no man than this,
                                  that a man lay down his
                                     life for his friends"

        At the top of human loving lies the atonement---the substitution sacrifice. "Greater love has no one than this, self-sacrifice for the salvation of another."
        The cross was were God demonstrated this kind of love.  Jesus was not making an untried statement here.  He was about to act out the proverb.  History holds many of such self-sacrifice. For example, a mother gives her life for her child, and we still see that today.  This type of love marks out the gallantry of love for others.
        Do not think that some gift or trophy is evidence of someones love for you.  In reality even an engagement ring will seem a shallow gift when laid alongside the cross.  The Bible tells us, "For herein is love: not that we loved Him first but that He first loved us.  A strange and empty felling can stalk our days when we forget that we have been loved by the life giver.  The cross can end that felling. Look! There! Were Christ died!  Who could ever behold Calvary and doubt that he or she is loved. Hold this in your heart, and meet Christ Today and let us walk together and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
AMEN!!
