There is no question if you are a disciple of Christ that we are to love. Love each other and our God. But, what does that really look like? Paul shares that here in these verses. Love is sacrificial. Yes, Jesus shows the way of obedience to the Father as our greatest example. Jesus also shows us our greatest example of love in the fact that he sacrificed his life for you and me. The question is are you in a place to return that love?
Here in America we have not had to deal with much persecution. I have a feeling that's about to change in this generation. Our very existence as a Christian will be put to the test and you must be at a place in your walk with God where your ready to give your life for the name of Jesus. If you are not in that place in your walk with God then you better get there. There is no reason to serve Jesus if you are not willing to die for Him other then just being religious. Once a gun is put to your head the real heart of a person is revealed. If you deny Jesus, he will deny you. People say, but he knows my heart and I love him but don't wanna die. Yes, Jesus knows your heart and that it is selfish if you deny Christ over death, you have no chance of redemption. This is a hard word but a true word. Love you and hope that you receive this word.
