How great a love

When Jesus prayed for His disciples (before His death), He asked for the love with which God had loved Him be in them/us (John 17:26). How great a love is that? Jesus asked the Father to bestow upon us the same love He had been given, the same love He had experienced. Can I ask it again, "How great a love is that?" I don't know if we can comprehend it. But, I do know we can see the effect of it lived out in the life and death of Jesus. Do people see a great love lived out in me? If you can just slightly comprehend the great love that is bestowed upon us ("For God so loved the world...John 3:16),we would have to be the most loving creatures. For once you have been loved, you are compelled to love.
