For God So Loved!

In the endzone. Today, we read in John ch3, the story of Nicodemus visiting with Jesus. He is a pharisee, and comes to Jesus under cover of night. Jesus proceeds to teach this knowledged man about God using earthly terms, but Nic doesn't follow. This famous discourse includes the passage of Jn 3:16, which is perhaps the most quoted verse in the Bible. God loves, so He gave. None of our efforts or sacrifice would ever be enough. We can not do it! But God can, and has done it! One sacrifice sufficient. One act of resurrection to defeat death. Judgement covered for those who believe. We see Nic come at night to talk to Jesus, yet, at Jesus' death, Nic asks for the body to bury. He has come out of hiding as well. Not to jdge, but to save. Unfathomable.
