This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
— 1 John 3:16 NIV
 

Parent Note

Love is not always easy. Sometimes showing someone our love means we have to do something that is hard or uncomfortable for us. Talk about how Jesus had to leave the Father when he came to live with us on earth. For this challenge, talk about and do something that is both hard for you and shows love to someone else.
