Consider the experience of these two. They are the best at what they do – killing people. Imagine what they would have to have gone through to obtain this distinction. They would have to be some of the coldest hearted individuals on the face of the earth. So how could these, heartless killers, fall in love. To the point where they would put their lives at risk for each other. I believe they found something that they could finally put on a pedestal higher than themselves. Something that generated more excitement and created more exhilaration than the high they received from their dangerous lifestyle. They found each other and a love that exceeded friendship or common brotherly love.

In Greek they have several different words for Love. One is Philia or Phileo; which is love between friends, or what you might call brotherly love. Another is Eros; which is used to indicate a sexual type of love. The last is Agape. Agape can be defined as selfless or sacrificial love. This is the kind of love that I believe Mr. and Mrs. Smith found. A love which is rarely found, but once found, must be held at all cost.

In the bible the word love is used interchangeably, however, when Jesus talks about sinners and his love for them – He uses Agape. And I imagine he would probably have used the same word when talking about Mr. & Mrs. Smith. For even they, after all is said and done, are not outside of God’s mercy and Grace.
