Those who want to gain their lives lose it

“Those who want to gain their lives lose it”

Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.(John 15;13)
When dying for a friend, the very opposite of life, that is, dying, is completely assimilated and incorporated into the real life of love of God and neighbors. At that time, if you don't give up life for your friends, you may survive as a body. However, as a whole human being, there is a lack of living life, and sometimes real life is lost. He that find his life shall lose it: and he that lose his life for my sake shall find it. (Matthew 10; 39).
Thus, the Lord's suffering, which has been added from the outside as violence, has been incorporated into the love of God's Father and neighbors and has become fully a part of his loved work of it.

This is the Passion of Christ as shown in the Gospel. On the one hand, being struck, ridiculed, drawn, and crucified, this is finished in itself a love for God and a love for others.
This isn't just about the opportunity to suffer and hurt, but still desperately love God and people in another corner of the heart. Also, it was not because Jesus was able to endure just because there was love. It is really painful, but because it is the Father's will, it must be received, and it is not because the size of love is measured by the amount of suffering that perseveres. Among these feelings, love and suffering are still separated..

Actually, there is a very mysterious aspect of the life of love itself. Moreover, this is the time when the ultimate form of love itself has begun to appear in this world, that the love of the Holy Spirit has emerged between Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Heavenly Father. Speaking of love, it seems like a person gently loves someone from himself. But that doesn't seem to be true love. The reason is that you can think enough that you can only love the person who is tormenting you. He hatefully hits us. There may be love that cannot be fulfilled only by receiving the violence properly. This is, of course, based on the Passion of Christ and the death on the cross. There is true love on the cross. As long as you believe in Jesus Christ, you must rethink the true way of love based on the cross.
