What is love
John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life”.
From time to time I will hear someone say “I would die for you” in a profession of love, but the test of this statement does not come when faced with the literal grave. The test of Jesus’s living words was given to be lived out every day of our lives.
So what does that mean “that someone lay down his life”? I believe it’s a spiritual death to our human desires that Jesus is referring to here. That if we say we love someone, then our wants and desires are laid to rest, put in the grave for the sake of those we love.
Not by your profession, but ’how’ have you laid down your life today? That is your testimony of this scripture lived out.
