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.” John 3:16-17.
Meditation:
Jesus came to save the whole world. He didn't come for one group of people - He came for everyone. The whole world was in a terrible state - in desperate need of redemption and salvation. Man couldn’t do anything to save the world, so God sent Jesus Christ, His only son, to save us all. He came for the children of Israel and He came for the Gentiles too. He came to save the lost, the broken, and the hardened. He had no reservations against a single soul. Even the Pharisees that he knocked heads with so often were a part of those He had come to save. Jesus came with no intention of condemning a single man. His mind was set on saving everyone - past, present and future. The fate of mankind was terrible but Jesus came and changed all of that. He came with His arms wide open, ready to love anyone who came this way. He was always willing to reach out no matter what it cost Him. There is no greater love than the love that Jesus Christ has for us. Jesus laid down his life for every single person in the world, regardless of who they are or what they have done in their lives.
It was not a simple decision for him. The thought of suffering the consequences for the sins of the world was not an easy thought to bear.
In the days leading up to His crucifixion, Jesus was troubled by what was to come but this did not stop Him from following through. He wept about it. He wasn't celebrating at the fact that He was about to endure so much pain. But He still chose to go through with it because He believed that we were all worth it. He came for us all.
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, thank you so much, for sending Jesus who paid in full for our sins, giving us Salvation and Eternal life indeed!
Help us to share our personal testimony and the “Good News of Salvation”, every day with everyone, in Jesus’ name we pray. Amen!!!
