“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son …” – John 3:16
We read this verse in church and sing songs about it. We see it raised high on cards at football games. But stop and think for a moment. This verse is more than words to a song. This verse is more than ink on paper. This verse speaks of the heart of our Savior, a heart for every person on this planet.
Jesus died on the cross to pay sin’s awful penalty. He rose from the dead proving that our sin debt was paid for. In Jesus Christ we find life, real life. Jesus wants everyone to know this Good News and to have the opportunity to believe in Him.
Before He ascended to Heaven, Jesus spoke what was on His heart. He said to us, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” (Matt 28:19) When He commanded this, He spoke from His heart. He meant what He said.
Jesus asks us to look around and see the world through His eyes (John 4:35). Jesus said to His disciples, “So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask Him to send more workers into His fields.” (Matt 9:38)
Is not each and every one of us an answer to that prayer?
