To love without limit means to love all the way. No “if” at the beginning. No “if” in the middle. No “if” at the end. And that does not make sense to us. It might even be frightening to us. At some point don’t we get to stop? Isn’t there some kind of limit where love ends and hatred takes over? That kind of thinking shows how little we truly understand love, and how incapable of agape we truly are on our own. But Jesus loved without limit. Jesus wrapped a towel around his waist and did the work of the lowest servant. And not primarily to teach humility, but to teach love—to teach that love has no limits. Peter thought it should. He thought that love should be limited by social status and cultural norms. He thought it should be limited by deserving and worthiness. But Jesus simply loved. He even loved the man who had made himself unclean, who had made himself Jesus’ enemy. He washed Judas’ feet, even though the devil was already at work in him. Loving without limit does not mean having no boundaries or taking every abuse, but it does mean that hatred has no place. It means that love exists outside of boundaries like friend and enemy. Love is without limit.
