A man puts himself between the danger and his beloved. A step sideways removes him as the barrier. Courage rushes to breach the gap and resolves to stay there until the danger is either destroyed or deterred. Cowardice steps aside instead of stepping up. It does not love anyone else enough to protect them at the expense of putting itself in danger.
John 18:4
Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to Him, came forward and said to them, “Whom do you seek?” They answered Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am He.”
Love steps up.
Love steps between.
