What do you do about it?

Grater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. ---John15:13-15

Though Jesus did not ask me to die for him, he wanted me to lay down my life for him. Peter said, “I will give myself for you.” What he said was true and his sense of heroism was great. It would be too bad not to announce it as peter did. Our sense of responsibility only play out through the sense of heroism. Did the Lord ask you that “Will you not lay down your life for me?” In the ordinary life, it is much more difficult to lay down one’s life but not forgetting the call from above than to die. Life is not to live for a heroic moment, but on an ordinary road, walking in the light of revelation. There was only a heroic moment in Jesus’s life that when he was transformed on the mountain, then he emptied himself again from his glory and went down to the demon-possessed valley. For thirty years, Jesus laid down his life to do the will of the Father. John said, “We must also lay down our lives for our brothers.”, which is against human nature to do so.

If I were Jesus’s friend, I would decide to lay down my life for him. Difficulty is difficult. Thank God. The difficulty is not important. It is easy to get the salvation, because God has paid a great price. However, it is more difficult to show God’s glory in our life. God saves a person and gives him the holy spirit, then seriously says to him, “Now, be true to me, even if things around you make you unfaithful.” “I call you friends.” Be loyal to your friends, and remember that your life in the flesh is the result of God’s honor and loss.

Dear God, I praise you for the grace you grant and the benefit and blessings the prayers of the saints bring. God, I receive your grace so quietly and the long time pasted, and I began to consider whether I am worthy to receive the grace or act as if I deserve it. God, forgive me.
