_Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. ~John 15:13

Two men camping in the forest were enjoying their morning coffee when, all of a sudden, they spotted a very large, hungry grizzly bear running toward them. One of the men quickly pulled on his running shoes. “Do you actually think you can outrun that grizzly bear?” his friend asked.

“I don’t need to,” he replied. “All I have to do is outrun you.”

We all have had friends like that, haven’t we? At the first threat of danger or hardship or difficulty, they desert us.
