The fullness of love

My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. You will look for me, and as I told the Jews, ‘Where I go you cannot come,’ so now I say it to you. Simon Peter said to him, “Master, where are you going?” Jesus answered [him], “Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, though you will follow later.” Peter said to him, “Master, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Amen, amen, I say to you, the cock will not crow before you deny me three times.” John 13, 33. 36-38

Jesus loves the Apostles so much… He says to them, as to children… He knows about Judas’ betrayal and Peter’s denial… Jesus suffers, but He loves to the end…
LORD, give me that great love.
