Jesus is love. Jesus loves us beyond measure. Jesus cares for us. Jesus would do anything for us...These are bold statements that many do not believe. Even Christians may not fully accept all of these statements.
However, 1 John 3 offers a statement that I believe proves it all. 1 John 3 verse 16 says, "By this we know love, that He laid down His life for us..."
Love is sacrifice and Jesus paid the ultimate price for sins He did not commit, but sins that we did! We deserve death for the sin we have. But Jesus took our place! He died in our place so that we may live! This can only be described as the greatest acts of love the world has ever known, or will know.
Jesus gave us the perfect example of how to love others. We are to sacrifice ourselves for others. We are to put others first. We are to serve. What a great example Jesus is!
