"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." 1 John 3: 16 (NIV)
What more really needs to be said about that? Do you operate in the undeniable, indescribable, unmistakable, selfless love that Jesus had?
But I would like to point out what John says here "what love is." John didn't say what parental love is, or what brotherly love is, or what marital love is, etc. John just points out that in ALL forms of love there should be the same underlying concrete principal. Complete selflessness is mandatory. Trust me, I know how difficult this. Ask my family, sometimes I just plain suck at it. But nevertheless is it so important to stress the absolute need for this love. This was more of a thought provoker post. Do you love like Jesus? Would you lay your life down for someone? Even if they do not deserve it, like Jesus did? Look at your life, examine yourself, correct yourself. Start loving the right way...
