“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13
What would you give a relative or friend in their time of desperate need? Your time, your money… your life? It may be well said that no sacrifice is too great for the people we love, but the fact of the matter is, our love is exclusive and often times, conditional.
God’s divine love for mankind surpasses our love for those we care for. It is inclusive, unconditional, and only found in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ came to a world that hated and rejected Him but enduring the suffering and shame of the Cross, He died, was buried and rose again the third day —for you!
“God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:17.
TODAY, YOU CAN KNOW AND EXPERIENCE
GREATER LOVE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!

“For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.” Romans 3:23
