Friend

Greater love has no one than this, than tolay down one’s life for his friends. (John 15:13, New King James Version)

Wouldyou give up your life for your friends? Maybe your best friend, and hopefully yourclose family members.

This is how we know what love is: JesusChrist laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for ourbrothers and sisters. (1 John 3:16, New International Version)

Doyou think that when John wrote these verses, he was talking about your bloodrelatives and your best friends? I’m pretty sure he was talking about strangersas well. And why do I think that? Because Jesus was born in Bethlehem to liveamong us and give His life for anyone who believes in Him. Now that’s aFriend.
