The true story is told of a young princess who found out that her son was suffering with the very contagious black dipltheria. Everyone in the castle was banned from going anywhere near the child, including h...is mother, the princess. One day as the princess was outside of the little boys bedroom door, she heard him say to his nurse, "Why doesn't my mother come in and hold me anymore, or kiss me goodnight?" At that moment the princess burst into the boy's bedroom and scooper him up into her arms and never left his side, even though she knew it may cost her her life. Sure enough both the boy and his princess mother died from the disease. Afterwards, everyone asked, "Why would she do that? What caused our princess to go in there and give her life?" The prince responded, "Love."

God has that same love for us! He sent His only begotten Son to die on a cross and be sacrificed for our sins, in order for us to be able to spend eternity with Him in heaven and fellowship with Him daily while still here on earth. Love. It is powerful.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. JOHN 3:16
