love a man can show,that he should lay downhis life for his friends.”No man ever showed this kind of love inhis life so concretely and convincingly as our Lord:“For these sheepI lay down my life....Nobody can rob me of it;I lay it down ofmy own accord.\"  \nNo man ever loved like that before.No man ever will.But Christsaid something once that sounds like even greater love than this.It does not contradict the other statement,for although laying downhis life is the greatest love a man can show,it need not be the great-est love that God can show.  \nDivine love is boundless,reckless,and beyond the wildest dreamsof man when Christ introduces us into the mystery of the Trinity,into the family-life of God.“I do not speak of you any more as myservants;a servant is one who does not understand what his masteris about,whereas I have made known to you all that my Fatherhas told me;and so I have called you my friends.”  \nFriendship is based on love.And this is the most amazing andmagnificent expression of love:that God should reveal and manifestHimself to us,share with us His eternal and infinite knowledge ofHimself!And that's what makes us His friends.One can almostpicture our Lord like a little boy,running with exquisite,carefreeabandon from friend to friend telling all the secrets of the Godhead.No greater love than that!  \nNow we know something of the inner life of God.We know thatGod lives an infinite life of knowledge and love.We know that God,knowing Himself with infinite knowledge,thinking of Himself withinfinite power,generates an idea of Himself.This idea,the Wordthat God generates,is necessarily the total,perfect,and adequateexpression of Himself-infinite,eternal,living,a person,equal in  \nEDITORIAL  \nevery respect to Him who generates it.And this Word is His Son,of the same nature as the Father,God as He is God.  \nThe Father loves the Son,whom He engenders.The Son lovesthe Father,who engenders Him.They contemplate each other,loveeach other,love the glory of the Godhead,which is their own;andjust as the act of knowing produce","cbCaitRJH9p9eha0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitRJH9p9eha0","pdf",3056370,68,"English","#
