John 3:16-17
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 3:26
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them.
These verses are so familiar to us. What do I learn from them today? We have been studying reconciliation, and these are perhaps the greatest summation of this concept to be found. This Lenten season has been full of new ideas and insights for me. Not because of any special abilities on my part, but because of the opportunities there have been to meet and talk with others about Christ. It has been a season of more commitments than usual, but the "payoff" has been great. God wants us to gather and to draw closer to Him. He sent his Son to teach us, and his Holy Spirit to guide us. He wants us all reconciled to Him.
Holy One, please lead me and guide me. Help me to gain new insights which will continue my transformation. Help me to see ways to be kind and loving throughout the day, every day. Thank you for your many gifts and for your grace. Amen
