February 23, 2020 There is a part of us that wants to think that the ‘laying down of our lives’ is going to easy, or quick. It is neither. Jesus points to the great love He has for us, marked by the laying down His life, and then says that ours will be marked by the same. What does it look like to lay down your life for Him as you lay it down for others? Do you expect approval from the world when you keep His command to love?
