What is the greatest or deepest love that one could have for another? Jesus said: “No one has love greater than this, that someone should surrender his soul in behalf of his friends.” (John 15:13) That, in fact, is the very kind of love he himself displayed and also the kind of love that Christian husbands are commanded to have for their wives. If you are a husband, do you have such love for your wife?

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13 NIV My grandpa is a Marine who's heart was so wrecked by what his eyes witnessed in war, that he barely spoke about his time in combat, understandably. Every time he began to share, he would choke back tears at the memories. God bless him and God bless all who's hearts are forever changed by the bravery of fallen solider in their life.

But Jesus did not try to clarify all these matters at this time. (John 14:26; 16:12, 13) Instead, he spoke about something of great importance. “I am giving you a new commandment,” he said, “that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.” Jesus then added: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”—John 13:34, 35.
