Read John 15:13-17

"The greatest love a person can show is to die for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you. This is My command: Love each other." ~ Y'shua (Jesus) of Nazareth

Dying i.e. physical death or the cessation of biological life is a much less difficult alternative when compared to the illustration that Jesus is truly giving in this passage.

Dying TO SELF -- to your own will; your own ways & wants and unselfishly seeking the best for one another -- is the "dying" (the laying down and giving up of life) that Jesus is referring to.

• the greatest love is dying for friends and neighbors

• we are God's friends if we keep His commandment

• His commandment is that we love (not just Him) but our friends and neighbors...EACH OTHER!

See how that goes!? It all begins and ends in love.

Show your friends (and your God) that you truly love'em: DIE FOR THEM. Seek their best interest before your own.

When viewed through that perspective....physical death becomes a much easier alternative. 

For further reading, check out Philippians 2:3‭-‬5

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but BE HUMBLE and with [an attitude of] humility [being neither arrogant nor self-righteous], count others MORE significant than yourselves. Do not merely look out for your only your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this same attitude in yourselves which was in Christ Jesus [look to Him as your example in humility] [In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.]” (Amplified Bible)

"True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less." ~ C.S. Lewis, 'Mere Christianity'

"For if we are beside ourselves [mad, as some say], it is for God and concerns Him; if we are in our right mind, it is for your benefit." ~ 2 Corinthians 5:13 (Amplified Bible)
