We all know what John 3:16 says, for me it's one of the 1st verses in the bible that I had to memorize as a child. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son...
20But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.
21"Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" asked the governor.
21"Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" asked the governor.
"Barabbas," they answered.
22"What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ?" Pilate asked.
22"What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ?" Pilate asked.
They all answered, "Crucify him!"
23"Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!" Matthew 27:20-23 (NIV)
23"Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!" Matthew 27:20-23 (NIV)
For God so loved the world... God so loved me, God so loved you, that had it been only me or only you- Jesus still would have died for us. We don't understand this agape love that God has for us, but we will one day, and I for one think that it will be hard to contain-

I pray you have a wonderful week filled with God's love.
