Greater Love Has No One Than This…

This entire month I have been inundated with ads and memes, etc, featuring romantic love. Of course, this is expected because February is the month that hosts Valentines Day. I was thinking about what the Bible has to say about all this and remembered this verse from John 15:13, ‘No greater love hath any man than he lay down his life for his friend.’ Then the story of Mikey Monsoor came to mind. The following X (formerly Twitter) post and YouTube video tell the story much better than I ever could because it was written/made by people who actually lived through it. (For the empathetic/emotional types, here is a tissue warning!) Have a great weekend.

“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” – John 15:13

On this day 19 years ago, Mike Monsoor laid down his life for his friends in Ramadi, Iraq. Never Forget. #hero pic.twitter.com/ukvxXNQxQH
