"This commandment I give to you, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends."
I can't help but wonder and marvel at this amazing verse.
I begin to imagine just how much Christ loved his own disciples.
Not one grudge.
Not one vestige of sinful anger.
Not one moment of hatred.
Never once did he embarrass or harass another.
Never a moment of jealousy or envy.
Not one strike; not one blow.
No,
He was perfect in every respect.
Always:
Patient. Loving. Merciful. Meek. Tender. Sacrificial. Peaceable in all things. Humble. Encouraging. Prayerful. Mindful of others, especially the poor and broken in spirit.
"He committed no sin. Neither was deceit found in His mouth. When He was reviled He did not revile in return. But, He continued entrusting Himself to Him who judges justly."
"Like a lamb lead to the slaughter so he opened not his mouth..."
A Crucified Savior. A King who dies for his enemies. A Deity who sacrifices his own power and wealth for rebels.
This is ultimate power.
This is supreme wisdom.
I need you now, Holy Spirit.
Maranatha, Come, Lord Jesus!
"My soul waits for you,
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning."
