Love

John 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."

Imagine a love so great that Omnipresence, the Creator of all things and all men, would choose to confine Himself for nine months in the dark, crowded womb of a young Jewish girl. Imagine a love so great that Omnipotence would limit Himself to entering this world through a birth canal and come as a helpless baby that could neither walk nor talk. Imagine a love so great that Omniscience would choose to obey two human parents with all their faults and frailties. Imagine entering a sinful world with the sure knowledge that life here would end in a torturous, humiliating death on a cruel Roman cross. We could never ever have imagined a love so great, but Jesus modeled it for us.

Thank You, Lord Jesus. Amen.
