Jesus defines the highest expression of love as laying down one's life for friends.
Love reaches its zenith in self-sacrifice, and Jesus modeled this perfectly on the cross. While we may never be called to physically die for someone, this principle challenges us to daily surrender our preferences, comfort, and rights for the benefit of others.
