John 3:17 “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.” Our Heavenly demands perfection. As soon as sin entered the world man was incapable of having a relationship with his Heavenly Father by his sinful self. God loved man and wanted a close relationship with man. Man needed an advocate–a perfect Advocate. Therefore, Jesus came. Only through our Savior are you and I capable of standing before God. Jesus has made each of perfect. Isn’t that a wonderful and comprehendible truth? That truth is what makes Christmas such a glorious celebration.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” God’s love for each of us is beyond measure. For our Almighty God to send His Son God to become human, live, suffer, die and rise from a tomb is all beyond our comprehension. Knowing Jesus, having a close relationship with Him and believing in Him as our Savior guarantees an eternity of treasure. Who of us doesn’t want a guaranteed, never-ending treasure?

John 2:18 “Then the Jews demanded of him, ‘What miraculous sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”‘ Are you kidding me? Human beings demanding God comply! What could they possibly be thinking? Humility and faith were totally absent. Is much of the world functioning the same today? What does God say in regard to many topics is an ignored thought, so man can come to his own conclusions and these conclusions have the same authority as what God has to say. You and I should always base our conclusions on what God says—-never on man’s self-proclaimed, ever changing, self-righteous and totally destructive mentality. We base our thoughts on God’s thoughts and conclusions. Have a great weekend.

John 2:33 “This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana, in Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.” I want to tell you what happened: I put water into a glass this morning. I then said to the water–become wine. Nothing happened. Thinking maybe I had the wrong type of glass I chose another bigger glass, much fancier and filled it with cold water with ice. I then said—become wine. Still nothing. Can anyone explain Why? It worked for Jesus–why not me?

John 1:34 “‘I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God.”‘ John the Baptist is a very reliable witness. His testimony is therefore factual and accurate. He recognized Jesus, knew who He was, couldn’t do anything but tell others about Him. He knew what his purpose in life was. God created John for this purpose. The same is true for each of us—you and me. Each of us, no matter our age has a purpose. Important question: For what purpose has God created you?
