The friends of Jesus love as He loves. When we look to the cross, we see a love that absorbs the worst from others, yet gives its best to them. "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends." What an impossible thing this is for us! Our inability to love this way must lead us to Jesus. Friendship with Christ is the only means we have of conveying such love to one another; He is the vine whose love flows to us and then bears the fruit of true love among us.
