God So
Loved The World- Not To Condemn But To Save
Jesus: “Look at My disfigured Face and My tortured Sacred Body. Didn’t I suffer to save souls? Believe in Me and adore Me.” (Jesus) (1961-1962)
Today’s Gospel: Jesus said to Nicodemus:
“Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert,
so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”
For
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved through him.
Prayer Meditation- Lord, You so loved the world that You came to save it and us. But do we really believe it? I mean really believe it? John 3:16 is not just some placard at a football game, it is the saving power of God! In the desert, when the people went astray and tested You, they were bitten by serpents and in Your mercy You sent the cure when they repented- the bronze serpent lifted up. And there You are high and lifted up and You wait for our repentance and our belief and our adoration. Because You did not come to condemn us but to save us. Let us love You, adore You, and worship You today and always!
