Jesus was unlike any person who preceded him or anyone who will follow him. While other religious figures throughout history have given wisdom and spiritual guidance to millions of people, two factors distinguish Jesus from the rest: first, his divinity, and second, his love.
In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul beautifully describes a unique kind of love that is greater than faith and hope — love that overshadows prophecy and all other impressive spiritual gifts. Although our perspective is too narrow to fully comprehend this love, we see clear glimpses of this eternal, unparalleled love through Jesus. This is the kind of love that this passage calls us to have for each other.
Jesus, the King of heaven, selflessly forfeited the comforts of heaven and rejected all offers of earthly power or wealth to lead a short, simple life. Ultimately he proved the depth of his love by sacrificing his life on our behalf. As the Son of God, he so loved the world that he paved a path to God for everyone who acknowledges him as God (see John 3:16; 14:6). These things make Jesus unique among religious figures.
