Day Six

According to the Inter varsity Press Bible Background Commentary on the New Testament, there were different levels of friendship in antiquity and Greco-Roman writers often commented on the topic.  Friendship could involve political or military alliances and was often pursued in self-interest; but dying for others was considered heroic in Greco-Roman stories, and friendship to the death was considered a high moral value.

It seems that the ancient readers would easily understand this concept when Jesus states in verse 13: “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.”

What's the difference between what was done in laying one’s life down for his friends in that ancient culture or today’s culture and what Jesus did for his friends?
