“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13 NIV). Shortly after Jesus gave these instructions to His disciples He laid down His life for those He loved. His heart was broken by the effects of sin. In the aftermath of Jesus’s death and resurrection, and the gifting of the Holy Spirit, the gospel took off like wild fire. Jesus’s disciples wanted the world to know about His great love.
