Jesus and Unconditional Love

I have given a lot of thought to the subject of Jesus and unconditional love. For those of us who believe that he came, shared his message of love and forgiveness, and gave the ultimate gift of his life for us this should be a relevant topic. Compare this with the well-heard reason for believing, or accepting Him as Savior of the World. "Believe in Jesus! Be forgiven! You will have eternal life!" I cannot even count how often I have heard and read this catch-all phrase from those who feel their calling is to save the world. Yet, even Jesus used it, although maybe not in such a blatantly pushy form that makes the hearer want to turn around and run.
The follow-up question then is this. Is our love for Jesus (God) as unconditional as His? Do we love Him so much that no matter what happens, what the final outcome will be, still love Him? Do we love Him, or the promise of eternal life? Is our love so great that we can love Him without fear--without the threat of being good or else?
One might conjecture that there is no Jesus Christ without eternal life, that the two cannot be separated. Yet, he loved us without hesitation--that is unconditionally. I think that there is merit to consider this subject. And, why do we want eternal life? Is it the fountain-of-youth for us? Is it because it will make what is done here, no matter how insignificant, have meaning. Or, is it the opportunity to sit at the feet of God to worship and praise the ultimate good?
This blog spot of mine maybe only for my benefit--my little claim to fame, maybe I wonder if others have given it any thought--but I challenge any who just may read this to consider whether or not their love for God is as unconditional as His. Think about whether the life you lead in Jesus Christ as Word is so great that it would be enough without the prize.
