My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
John 15: 12-13
Laying down your life does not neccassarily mean that you allow yourself to die in order to save another. That's only one definition. To lay down your life is to make another person more important than you. To make sure another person is happy, well fed, or comfortable. Even if it means you have to be unhappy with what happens, have to go a little hungry, or be physically uncomfortable.
True love is sacrifice, we are called to sacrifice for one another, we are called to love as Jesus loved.
