Today's Gospel Verses
John 3:16-21
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 to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
Today's Reflection
The word love may not have that many letters.
But love is certainly more than just a word or a concept.
It has many expressions, from the most profound to the most profane.
In its most profound expressions, it is about of sacrifice, compassion, kindness, forgiveness and the beauty of humanity
In its profane expressions, it is down to lust and erotic pleasure.
When Jesus said that God loved the world so much, that He gave His only Son, we see the most profound expression of what love is.
It is a love that forgives and saves, and those who have experienced that kind of love will not forget what true love is about.
Let us remember that God gave each of us that love, and it is expressed by Jesus on the Cross.
May we experience that love of God and may we love others with the love that God has for us.
GOD BLESS YOU
Good morning. Have a nice safe day
