Jesus set the perfect example of love. Everything about him—his speech, his conduct, his teaching, and his sacrificial death—demonstrated his love. To the very end of his life on earth, Jesus showed love toward those whom he met and especially toward his disciples. Jesus’ outstanding example of love sets a high standard for his followers to uphold. It also motivates us to show similar love toward our spiritual brothers and sisters as well as toward all others. On the night before Jesus’ death, his own apostle Peter denied him three times. (Mark 14:66-72) Yet, once Peter had returned, as Jesus foretold he would, Jesus forgave him. Later, Jesus entrusted Peter with weighty responsibilities.—Luke 22:32; Acts 2:14; 8:14-17; 10:44, 45.
