The Greatest Extent of Love
Reading
John 15:9-17
Devotional
"No greater love has anyone than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." Jesus didn't just speak these words—He lived them. On the cross, He experienced the full wrath of God that we deserved. The crucifixion wasn't just physical torture; it was spiritual substitution. Every nail, every stripe, every moment of suffocation represented God's judgment against sin—judgment that should have fallen on us. Yet Jesus willingly took our place. This is love at its highest expression: voluntary sacrifice for the undeserving. Today, consider what Jesus endured for you personally. Let the reality of Calvary move beyond theological concept to personal gratitude. How does understanding this sacrifice change how you live today? What are you willing to lay down for others in response to what He laid down for you?
