μειζονα ταυτης αγαπην ουδεις εχει ινα τις την ψυχην αυτου θη υπερ των φιλων αυτου
John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
There is no agape/God like love that no man can hold/have that would give his/breath/soul for his deepest companion/friend.
What a grand love someone must have to sacrafice thier life for us. What love the savior must of had for us. What wonderful opportunity we were given because God expressed his love for us by death. But as I translated the greek..I got some revelation.
The greek translated life also has a meaning for breath and soul. When I think of breath..I think about the Words I speak. It made me think about the Words I sacrafice to show agape love to my friend. What Words of agape love do I give to my neighbor? Do I edify them with the Words of my mouth. Do I give my breath to edify or tear down my friend.
The greek also translates it into soul.
the principle of life, feeling, thought, and action in humans, regarded as a distinct entity separate from the body, and commonly held to be separable in existence from the body; the spiritual part of humans as distinct from the physical part. (Dictionary)
If the soul is the spirit part of a man..then that means that when I love with a God like Agape love then I am loving with my spirit man..which is in essence...God himself(the Holy Spirit). So as I lay down my life/soul...I am being like Christ once again in His death.
So today, on Valentines day....I want to show you agape love and encourage you from the scriptures....today..be like Christ and die to yourself that you may show your friends...the greatest love within you...the love Christ had for his Bride...His friends...Us.

This cross I bear
this load I carry.
I do it for you
that you will live.
The life I give
no one can take.
So today, I love you
more than I can say.
