Words for Worship – The Greatest Love Story Ever Told
”Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
—John 15:13
The Greatest Love Story Ever Told – God loves us! There are few truer statements. In the Bible, Jesus tells us, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13). Can you think of any deeper love than that? Certainly, there were plenty of romance movies circulating on television and social media this week in celebration of Valentine’s Day. Those stories depict the most natural and committed love shared between two individuals.
No matter how devoted the characters are to one another, in real life or in the movies, it takes a very special kind of love to sacrifice one’s own life for.
But that’s exactly what God did for us…
”For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” —John 3:16
God made it possible for all of mankind to be saved from death and have eternal life, through his uncompromising and sacrificial love, when he gave up his only Son, Jesus Christ. Indeed, the greatest love story ever told was written when Jesus died on the cross and rose again from the grave. For he gave up his life for us.
Would you like to play a part in this love story?
You can…go ahead! The script has already been written, and no audition is required. All you need to do is invite Jesus into your heart.
Peace and Love,
Felecia
