It
would be easy to read this passage and think only of the heroic. Many people
are stirred to action in times of immediate danger. But, are you intentional in
giving your life in the everyday, boring times? Will you intentionally choose
to invest time and energy in the everyday life of another person, given there
will be times when you know it will cost you something?
During this conversation with His followers, Jesus explained three truths. First, He reminded them that their time together had been possible only because He willingly, gladly
spent His life each day for them. Second, Jesus gave them a way to understand
His crucifixion that was soon to come. It was His ultimate gift of love.
Finally, He explains to them, and to you, that His true friends will spend each
day being “spent” so that others will learn this love.
You
received this gift. Will you give it?
