John 3
Today is the third day in our 21 Days with John. We are reading through the Gospel of John over 21 days at River Church. I will be posting a quick thought every day from my reading. So today a thought from John 3.
One of the most famous verses in the Bible is 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". For me this verse explains the good news in one sentence. We have good news! God loves people and took the initiative by sending Jesus. If we put our faith in Jesus we can receive eternal life. This is not just life that lasts forever but life as God intended here and now - life with peace and joy. And this is available to whoever believes in Jesus.
My prayer for today is "Thank you God for sending Jesus. Thank you that because I have put my faith in Jesus I have your peace and joy. Please give me opportunities today to share this good news with others."
