John 3:16 "For God so loved the world , that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
This verse was made fresh in this soul's heart at High Street Baptist Church 41st Missions Conference. It seems to be a very common verse that lacks meaning to an ordinary hearer or reader. Yet, the profoundness of the words when closely scrutinized put this soul in awe of God's heart. The words appear to be an exaggeration to the infinite degree. Why God? the Almighty who is creator of all things...Why so loved? an unimaginable intensity considering that it was from the Almighty..Why the world? who has turned its back to his maker, his owner, his own God...that allowed sins directly opposing God's nature...yet, why did He gave? a direct irony to man's reasoning when he is done evil to..why His only begotten Son? the dearest possession was given up...why whosoever? it was offered to everyone...why believeth? the simplicity of all actions...why in Him? the sufficiency of the object of one's belief...why should not perish? the greatest damnation for all eternity...why but? the greatest irony...why have everlasting life? the greatest promise! It is all about God's love! Let that love constrain this soul to the working of His perfect will! This day this soul pleaded that love be the motivating force in moving towards the direction of His perfect will!
