Enjoy this familiar verse today. I think it’s appropriate for the week of Christmas.
This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.
God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. John 3:16-17 (The Message)
I love the Message translations!! He came to help, not tell us how bad things were! Wonderful, blessed news 🙂 Happy Monday!
Thank you! Happy Monday to you too!
LOVE this translation because it’s so to the point. Thanks for sharing His word with us today. I will definitely meditate upon this throughout the day. Happy Monday! 🙂
I have really enjoyed reading through it this year. Not sure what translation I’ll use for next year’s reading!
