Have you ever been hurt by a friend? Jesus was hurt by us, but God demonstrated His love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Rom. 5:8). In John describing God, one word that describes God is love (1 John 4:8). Pondering upon this love for us, John said, "Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God..." (1 John 3:1 BSB).
