And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
“Therefore doth my Father love me because I lay down my life.” Christ’s death called forth the Father’s love; how much more should it call forth our love, the ones for whom He died. Oh, let us “love Him because He first loved us.”
