John 13:1
“It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.”
9As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command. 15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. 17This is my command: Love each other.
I want to share this personal story:
I attended my Grandma's 100th birthday party recently. My Grandma was a great person full of love and she spread love throughout her life. I was at this party and I looked at all of my relatives in the room and I thought about all of the ways that Grandma had given us all love, Love to her own children who had children that they loved and they had children whom they loved and so on. I witnessed the impact of 100 years of love in one person's life and all of the lives that love was given to and all of the love that we get to give away to our own children. I witnessed that love is timeless and boundless; Past present future and anywhere that exists, the love will always be there. Timeless and boundless.
