John 15:13
And here is how to measure it — the greatest love is shown when people lay down their lives for their friends.On May 21, 1946, when Louis Slotin and seven co-workers were attempting to perform a dangerous nuclear experiment in New Mexico, some pieces of highly radioactive plutonium were accidentally moved. The movement triggered an intense increase of radioactive exposure in their laboratory. Slotin pulled apart the radioactive pieces with his bear hands to save his friends, but in so doing exposed himself to an overwhelming dose of radiation. Several days later, Slotin died of radiation exposure while his co-workers and friends recovered. Those survivors were still alive thanks to the heroism displayed by Slotin. Jesus did something similar, but on a much greater scale for all people when Jesus offered Himself as a sacrifice for people to have salvation. It doesn't take much to see that Jesus' love is by far the greatest love of all.
