Once again we want to look at the perfect example of the one perfect Man that walked on this earth, Jesus Christ and to see in Him an example for us to follow, particularly in the area of love.

We have seen, in a previous study, how Jesus' love was shown, not in sentimental words, but in the fact that He valued people; He had compassion for people. People were more important to Jesus than material things. The love of Jesus is seen in the fact that He was willing to die in order to save people from their sin. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. The highest proof of God's love is in this, that He gave His Son to die for us. Jesus said, "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lays down his life for his friends." It was just not physically that Jesus died. Every day, in His relationships with people, He died to Himself. This is the cross that He told us to take up daily. The greatest proof of my love for another is that, I am willing to die to myself, to my rights, my reputation, my own interest, in my relationship with that person . Anything less than this is not love.

The world is full of people who seek their own; who are always seeking how this will benefit me. That is what I meant by using people for one's own ends. True love is totally interested in the other person and not interested in what I can get out of that other person for myself. If we don't cleanse ourselves from this filthiness of the flesh and the spirit, there is in all of us, we will never be able to love others with the love of God. We must ask the Holy Spirit to remover from us, to help us crucify, these wrong attitudes, so that we can love people with the love of God.

This is one reason why Jesus was never irritated by people, even if they were crude, or stupid, or they made mistakes. They may have been slow, but they never got on His nerves. They never upset Him; their untidiness, their disorderliness, their slowness, their carelessness never made Him impatient and irritated. Why do these things that you see in other people irritate you? I will tell you the reason. It is because you are not willing to die to yourself. That is the reason. You do not know love.
