What manner of man is this? That a man laid down his life for his friends. Jesus is our vine, our example. His life is and glory is our to share as long as we: abide in him, keep his commandments and make disciples. Even though today many a church and evil force try to discard the commandments, we should remember that the lawgiver is also bounded by his law. If the law giver is bound then we must obey God and exalt his laws above the traditions of man.
