1 John 2:2 "He is the propitiation of our sins, and nor for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world."
We just finished watching a movie titled Self/Less. The major premise asks what would you be willing to give up or do for those you love? It also asks what you would give up for total strangers, The movie makes that answer very clear, even though the beginning was more about selfishness, it turned into selflessness.
Today started Holy Week with Palm Sunday. This day marks Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem while the people cheered thinking he was the king that would save them from oppression. Just a few days later, learning that He was not there to overthrow the government, these same people turned on Him. Both the cheering and the betrayal were self-motivated, yet Jesus' actions were about anything but self. He still acted in love and forgiveness until the end. It is clear what He was willing to give up and do for those he loved, He was willing to take on the sin of the world and love us all unto death. No other act in all of time could ever be more selfless.

There was no greater auto fo love than Jesus' suffering and death. I remind myself and myself students of that every single day. You want a great love story? It's right there on the cross! You want a love you can count on? It's right there on the cross! You want someone to be your friend and who will always be there for you? HE'S RIGHT ON THE CROSS.
