(A)
In Greenville, South Carolina, there is a war memorial to a pilot, the only American killed during the Cuban missile crisis. The inscription reads, "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." But to lay down your life doesn't mean always that you die for them. We have always been willing to die for God, to wrangle for him theologically. But to live for him, to lay down your life as a living sacrifice for others, aye! That's the challenge of John 15:17.
