Greater Love

Greater Love

In John 15:13, Jesus tells the eleven disciples with Him, "Greater love has no one than this: that he lay down his life for his friends." Jesus knew what was going to happen, and He was bringing words of comfort and assurance to His disciples during this last really good time to be with them before He would be taken away and crucified. Of course, Jesus preaches what He practices! In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was already experiencing the weight of the burden. Just as olives were pressed three times to get the oil out of them, Jesus went and prayed three times, the third time His sweat was like great drops of blood (Luke 22:44) (thanks, guys at The Chosen, for the insight about the garden of Gethsemane and what Jesus did there!)


lyrics:
Greater love has no one than this,
that he lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13, NIV)

And this He did, this He did,
yes, this He did, Jesus did.

This is how we know what love is:
Jesus Christ laid down His life (1 John 3:16, NIV)

For us He did, yes, He did,
for us He did, Jesus did.

And now He lives, yes, He lives,
forever lives, Jesus lives!
