There Is No Greater Love

Scripture:
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” — John 15:13 (KJV)

The cross of Christ stands as the greatest love letter ever written. Not penned with ink, but with blood. Not delivered through parchment, but through a body broken for us. Jesus didn’t just say He loved us, He proved it. He laid down His life, knowing that many would turn away, ignore, or even mock His sacrifice. Still, He loved without restraint.

This kind of love, sacrificial, eternal, and unconditional, is not found in any human relationship. It is divine, stretching beyond time, touching every soul with the invitation: Come, I have made a way. Jesus didn’t die just to forgive you, He died to bring you close, to restore what was broken, and to give you life abundantly.

If you’ve ever questioned your worth, remember the cross. If you’ve ever wondered if you’re loved, look at the empty tomb. Jesus conquered death so we could walk in the freedom of a love that never lets go. There is truly no greater love.

Reflection Challenge:
Take a few moments today and imagine Jesus standing in front of you, not with condemnation, but with compassion in His eyes. Hear Him say, “I did this for you.” Let His love soak into every dry place in your soul. Write a short letter of thanks to Him for His sacrifice.
