This past Sunday at church was recognition of the local police officers. The service included thanking them for putting their life on the line for their community and for strangers, which is similar to what Jesus did when He died on the cross for us. One might say, well wait, He knows all of us; yes he does. But He died for those of us who hadn't come yet sot hat even now, 2010 years later, we can have eternal life. He knew who we were going to be and what we were going to do, but at that time, we were strangers to Him. Now we are part of His community though and He died for His community, for His followers; I am forever grateful for His actions and the unselfish love that God showed in giving His only son to die for us mortals who cannot control our sin.
John 15:13 (NKJV) "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends."
That is such a great description of Christ's love for us. As well as the kind of love we need to have for others.
Blessings in Christ,
