All anyone has to do to find out the true meaning of love is to open the pages of the bible and read John 3:16,"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." Sounds great doesn't it? Well, how about this one found in John 15:13,"Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
No greater love can be shown than someone giving up his life to save someone else. That's exactly what Jesus, the spotless Son of God did. He gave his life on the cross so that you and I might have eternal life. He died so that we could be reconciled to God, our Heavenly Father.
When Jesus died on Calvary that day, he made a way for everyone(who wanted to be) to be set free from their sins. Jesus could have called the angels of Heaven to set Him free, but He chose to stay on the cross and die so that we might live. What an example of true love. Should we not in turn give Jesus our all and make Him Lord of our life? Think about it!
