Joh 15:13,14 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. The highest human exhibition of love that earth has ever seen was this. Christ was about to exhibit this highest type of human love by dying for his friends. He did even more, as Paul shows us in Ro 5:6, he died for his enemies, something that man had never done.

this kind of love has never been once exemplified by any man. Only Jesus is love indeed. He who gave up his life has given up all. What else would he not give? Nothing can be more dare!

This kind of love with the Spiritual implication was demonstrated literary. It is incomprehensible.It requires a continual sober reflection if we the Christians must live out our faith genuinely.

It is inexplicable, non sensical act. The love that leaves one absolutely in owe. Never understanding and going beyond any natural senses. The one love that cannot be exceeded by any other for there is no other.
