I John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
********************************
We all know John 3:16, but who looks at I John 3:16? It, too, is about Jesus' supreme sacrifice on the cross. It goes further.
Amazing. Lay down your life for your brothers following My example.
Lord, it is hard to love like You do, sometimes. People disappoint me. I disappoint me. We're not perfect by any stretch of the imagination.
I guess that's the point. I wasn't perfect when You died for me. That was why You did.
Help me to love others who fall short of my expectations.
