God's Love...

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

Aren't you glad the verse does not read:

• "For God so loved the rich..."?
• Or, "For God so loved the famous..."?
• Or, "For God so loved the beautiful..."?

It doesn't. Nor does it read, "For God so loved the Europeans or Africans..." "the sober or successful..." "the young or the old..."

No, when we read John 3:16, it simply says, "For God so loved the world."

Are you included in the world? Then you are included in God's love. God's love is just for you! Unfortunately, there are places where you are not quite as welcome. Universities exclude you if you aren't smart enough. Businesses exclude you if you aren't qualified enough, and, sadly, some churches exclude you if you aren't good enough.

But though they may exclude you, Christ includes you. When asked to describe the width of His love, He stretched one hand to the right and the other to the left and had them nailed in that position so you would know He died loving you. 

But you see, Jesus didn't just die.  Amazingly, there is more to the story.
