The greatest love of all happened when one would go to the extent to die for His friends. The Greek word for this is agape. As I watched the drama "The Greatest Love of All", I can't help but to reflect on this. The world around us seems to view love differently. It is always easy to love someone that is lovable... but not so when it comes to those who are not lovable.
It is said that if we love only those we like, we are no different than those villians or criminals who would do anything for their friends. However, if we are able to love even our enemies, our love is deemed to be great and this makes us different.
So, the greatest love of all happened when the Above God Actually Paid Everything for us. He has "paid" for our debts of sins, that we are no longer slaves. He has "paid" with His life. In the end, only these remain :- love, faith and hope ; the greatest of these is love.
