1 John 3:16

Is it just me or does it seem we no longer know what love is? We love our families and our friends, but we also love pizza and other inanimate objects that cannot reciprocate love. Here John tells us how we know what love is, because Jesus gave His life for ours. John goes further by telling us that Jesus’ sacrifice should motivate us to lay down our own lives.

More often than not, laying down our lives looks more like laying down our rights. It is giving your time when you could be doing something better. It is following after the example of Jesus and becoming a servant to all. Jesus shows us that love is a giving of yourself, are you willing to make the sacrifice?

For the King,
