I love our Savior: Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13) What greater love can someone offer another person than to lay down His life and that’s precisely what Jesus did for sinners which includes “addicts” and “alcoholics” who really are idolaters and drunkards,…
