In this week’s Gospel reading we have the verse that show up on signs during football games, John 3:16. It is a wonderful verse, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that everyone who believes in him may not perish but have everlasting life.” It’s interesting, though, that this week’s reading includes the next verse too, “Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.”

God loves us. He cares about us. As a friend, Jimmy, says, there is nothing we can do, or not do, that will make God stop loving us.

We aren’t being condemned. We’re being saved. There’s a big difference.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!
