‘…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. (John 3:16)
From John 3:16-18 (Year A:
Trinity)
My favourite passage
from the scriptures …
And often cited on
tee-shirts, billboards and the like. I suppose it strikes a chord with many
people because the essence of the God/religion/Christianity thing is compassion
and acceptance. If God so loved each of us – I mean the concrete you, me, him,
her …. etc then that’s what we are called to do beginning with self-acceptance
knowing that we are loved to such an extent that John 3:16 makes sense. It’s
our final ‘bottom line’.
May God the creator,
God the redeemer and God the life-giver lead each of us into a deeper
communion. John 3:16 points the way.
