The Persons of the Trinity live out an eternal round of self-sacrificing love. If a proof text is needed, John 15 supplies it.
1) Jesus says, “as the Father loved Me, I have also loved you” (v. 9). Jesus’ love for the disciples is modeled on the Father’s for Him.
2) How has Jesus loved the disciples? “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends” (v. 13).
3) Jesus’ love is laying down His life; Jesus’ love is modeled on the Father’s; therefore, the Father’s love for Jesus is self-giving. Of the Father we can say “Greater love has no one than this, that He lays down His life for His Son.”
