Day 44: Thursday, April 13th, 2017 John 3:16

Now That’s Amazing!!!

“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.”

Amazing is defined as causing great surprise or wonder, astonishing.

Now I do not know if you have noticed the use of amazing by friends, family, or on the TV or movie screen. As I read the definition I have to think, “Really, was that dessert amazing?” “Was the job amazing?” “Was the football play amazing?” I mean these things are pretty great, but amazing?????

Now put those things we say or others say are amazing and compare it to the love of God? Hmmmmmm… they do not seem so amazing when put in that perspective, do they?

Our Father in Heaven loves us so much that He sent Jesus to save us. He loves us so much Jesus died on that cross for us. He was without sin, and He did not deserve our punishment, but He took it because of the love He has for each and every one of us. WOW!!! Now that’s amazing!!!

So when someone says, “Wow, that was amazing!” you may want to think, “No, what’s amazing is what Christ our Savior did for us on that cross. He conquered death and the grave for us. He gave us the gift of eternal salvation!! My friends–Now that

is amazing!!

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

You are my King.

You are amazing.

I want to thank and praise You for loving us so much.

Let us always remember how amazing Your love is.

Amen.
