John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
I think John 3:16 was the first verse I memorized in Sunday School. I have probably read it and said it hundreds of times just like all of you. But do we really understand how much God loves us?
God's love is for everyone...in the whole world, He just didn't say He loves us...He proved His love. He gave His only Son as a sacrifice for our sin so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life...everlasting life. Who do you think was suffering the most as Jesus hung there on the cross? Being a parent, I would say the Father was suffering the most. This is how much God loves us.
I think sometimes we become so familiar with scripture that it loses its significant impact on us. As we read this verse today stop and take a fresh look at the cross. What does God's love mean to you?
Love in Christ,
Tera
