THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE THAN GIVING LIFE FOR OUR FRIENDS

The vision of our church, beyond being directed by the construction of a new temple, focuses on the construction of lives. The Word says that no one has greater love than one who lays down his life for his friends.

Our goal is always to show friends, to show life in the Lord for what it is, a simple, full and practical life, in which many benefits are enjoyed. We believe that, as believers, the greatest things we can achieve are make friends. That was the emphasis of our Lord Jesus Christ with his disciples. He told them he would call them no more servants, but friends. And if Jesus sought to have friends, how much more each one of us. When you do this, you project yourself differently.

"If they keep my commandments, they will remain in my love, just as I have fulfilled the commandments of my Father and remain in his love" (10). Faithfulness to God, the source of love, allows us to enter into communion with our neighbor.

Jesus becomes our friend. Being friends, makes us know, believe and love freely. He loved us so much and loves us that he gives his life for us. That is why the one who spent doing good ends up crucified. The cross is no longer a symbol of death, but of freedom and life for every believer who gives his life for others.

The world of today needs love, to be healed of wounds in the family, in society to reestablish dialogue and the knowledge of a God who asks us to listen to each other and to extend a hand of solidarity to the other. Love for God and neighbor is possible if we strive to be grateful to God for all the beauty, joy, peace and forgiveness that he puts within our reach so that we can make that culture of love and respect for human life a reality.

And God so loved us that he gave us his only Son to save us. It looks like what I saw in the movie "The Bridge".

Once upon a time there was a man, who had a son he loved dearly. The man was in charge of a drawbridge, where the railroad passed. When a ship passed by the river, it had to put the light in red so that the railroad stopped, and had to move the lever that lifted the drawbridge.

His son loved watching the trains, and looking at the people who traveled in him, and who in some way depended on his father: some felt lonely, others were disgusted, others were selfish, others suffered, some were pricked with the drug.

One day a tragic error occurred: the engineer of the train did not notice that the traffic light was red, and went on, when the drawbridge was already rising. The boy shouted at his father, he wanted to lower the lever to lower the drawbridge, but he slipped and fell to the train track. The train would crush him.

The father had to decide in seconds: either his son was saved but all died, or all were saved but his son died crushed by the train. The father made this second decision: his son died, but all the passengers on the train were saved, and many did not even notice the drama.

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son "(John 3:16).
