Christ Given for God So Loved Us
Jesus’ ministry is not reserved for
the temple or synagogue. At any
time and in all places He is ready
with a word and a healing touch.
Nicodemus comes by night seeking
answers and finds second birth.
Samaritan woman comes seeking
water at the well and leaves to
tell her city about a source of
living water that will never run dry.
The paralytic at the pool finds even
38 years of lameness is no problem
to the miracle-working Son of God.
Jew or Samaritan, religious leader
or religious outcast, Christ Jesus’
compassion knows no bounds.
Lord, we’ll Respond to Your Love:
And as Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, even so must
the Son of Man be lifted up; that
whoever believes in Him should
not perish but have eternal life.
For God so loved the world that
He gave His one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall
not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send His Son into
the world to condemn the world,
but that the world through Him
might be saved (John 3:14-17).
Father, Thank You for loving me even beyond what I could imagine. It amazes me that You would love me even when I didn’t love You. It amazes me that You Gave Your Son to pay the ultimate price so that I could have eternal life. Grant Your love to flow thru me so that even more people may sense Your boundless love. Amen
Lord, thank You for Your grace and the promise of eternal life: the abundant life that begins now here on earth. Look forward to being With You forever in heaven; a much better place, of eternal joy and where there’s no tears. And also be reunited to loved ones and friends who had gone before. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
Jesus, it is hard to comprehend love so great as Yours. You laid down Your life so that I can live forever with You. My response to Your first loving me is to love You wholeheartedly in return. Help me Lord to lay down my life for You in serving Your purpose here on earth and thereby also fulfilling my prepared destiny. Amen
