"What are a few things I love? I love my kids, eating popcorn, and teaching the Bible. Another man might say, “I love my wife, football, and working on my car.” For this man’s wife’s sake, let’s hope he loves his wife differently than he loves football and automobiles. For my kids’ sake, let’s hope I love them differently than I love eating popcorn.
Have you ever noticed that the English word love can be used in a wide variety of ways that fail to distinguish between different shades of meaning? Obviously, the love we have for things we enjoy is different than the love we experience in relationships. Even within our relationships, the kinds of love we experience will vary significantly. We love our parents differently than we love our spouse, and we love our children differently than we love our pastor, fellow church members, or coworkers."

But Jesus didn’t save Himself so He could save us.
In Luke 23:35–41, we see the ridicule Jesus endured, the irony of the sign: “This is the King of the Jews,” two thieves, two responses, and why God’s kindness leads sinners to repentance.

Watch:
Simon of Cyrene carried the cross behind Jesus (Luke 23:26). A picture of discipleship: deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow Him (Luke 9:23).
