John 3:16

 ‘…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.
