God's love in one sentence
December 30, 2009
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
--John 3:16
A number of years ago, Karl Barth, the famous German theologian, was lecturing at a major northeaster seminary. At a Q&A session, a man asked Mr. Barth what the most profound thought was that ever entered his mind.
The man clearly expected to hear some philosophical comment from Mr. Barth. But the theologian looked at the man and simply said, "The most profound thought that has ever occurred to me is this: Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so."
You and I need to realize how remarkable the message of God's love truly is. It is simply profound and profoundly simple! And no other verse of Scripture summarizes his love for us as completely as John 3:16: "For God so loved the world…."
It is an undeniable fact. God loves you!
The expression of his love is evident from the first page to the last of Scripture. And if you will look, the expressions of Jesus' love for you are written throughout the pages of your life. It's there!
See his goodness, his patience, his kindness, his grace, his longsuffering, his faithfulness, his mercy, and so much more.
Never doubt his love for you. Jesus loves you!
"JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW, FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO."

Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out
Dear Friend,
Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today! --Jack Graham
