“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

While we are not able to literally lay down our lives on a daily basis for others, we can choose to lay down our lives and love extravagantly in smaller practical ways. For instance, we can choose to go out of our way to help someone in need even though it may be personally inconvenient to us..
