No Greater Love

Gospel Template

Today's Verse

"No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends." – John 15:13

It's easy to say things and make big promises. It's easy to say, "I love you," but not really show it in our actions. Jesus' words are powerful in and of themselves. They reveal deep truths that aren't just empty words. However, not even Jesus thought that His words alone were enough. Instead, He showed us His love was true by doing what He said. Jesus didn't just love us from afar, He laid down His own life and proved His love was genuine. That is why it is called "Good" Friday. A horribly dark day was made good by the perfect love sacrifice that Jesus made on our behalf. Meditate on the truth of His love for you and find ways to demonstrate that love to others. - Commentary by: Traci Elliott

Today's Prayer

Jesus, thank You for the perfect love that You have given us. Fill our hearts with this love and help us to speak it and demonstrate it to others. Amen.

Today is Good Friday, when we commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It's a good time to think about how Jesus willingly suffered and died on the cross for us. Let each and everyone of us thank Him for giving the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.
 
Gratefully yours,
David
