How much love did Jesus have?

The defining characteristic of God and Jesus is love. That's most evident by Jesus' sacrifice and death for us. He became like us, felt our sorrows and pains, died for us that we might be allowed to resurrect, all because he loves us. That must be a lot of love.

Paul describes it this way in Romans 5:

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet asinners, bChrist died for us.
