Devotion:
Read John 3:16-17.
Today we are focusing on what is probably the most famous verse in the Bible: John 3:16. It is often called “the gospel in a nutshell” because it’s a summary of all God has done for us. Because it is such a familiar verse, sometimes it is just quoted or recited without really thinking about the true meaning.
However, for those who are seeking and following God, this text is so valuable. Driven by His love for humanity, God sent His one and only Son to save us. Now those who believe in him are saved from death and destruction and they shall not perish.
This week is so timely for these two verses. As we approach Christmas, it is so hard to fathom how God sent his son in the form of a baby to save us. Jesus was born just like any human, but he was God in the flesh. He became one of us. God’s love was so great that he was willing to sacrifice his beloved son on all of humanity’s behalf. Help us to not lose sight of the love of this remarkable event that is now known as Christmas.
Personal Worship Option:
Dear God, thank you for sending your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to live a life of thanksgiving and praise to you. Your love is impossible to completely understand. Help us to celebrate Christmas for the true meaning of what it represents. Amen.
