You Are Loved.
Happy Wednesday everyone! Our daily Gospel for the past three days is from John's third chapter. The Gospel for Thursday and Friday is also from Saint John’s Gospel. Today, we have some of the most famous words of Sacred Scripture, John 3:16. We see this passage written or the chapter and verse numbers in many public places. We see it on signs at public venues, church signs, displayed on the faces of sports players right below their eyes, and printed on t-shirts. This simple phrase assures us that God is love and He loved us enough to sacrifice his Son to save us. So, it is no wonder we see it in many places. It is so nice to be reminded that we are loved and through Jesus Christ we have eternal life. I remember the commercial advertising Pentecostal Preacher Rex Humbard’s show. The commercial ended with him and others announcing, “you are loved.” I don’t know if the commercial was as memorable as, “See the USA in a C. Miller Chevrolet,” but it had a powerful message. Maybe there is someone who needs to hear those words that they are loved. And if someone needs a good laugh, give them your best C. Miller imitation. God bless and stay safe!
In Christ,
