Jesus said, “Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.
“Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” John 3:11-17
God So Loved the World
O Creator who called light forth
who breathed your spirit in all flesh
who gave us good roads to follow
help us to seek your ways today.
Some are lost because of worry
some are lost because of greed
others have lost their way for pain
and some are just standing still.
We all need your love poured out
we ache to be transformed again
we know you gave you son for us
to save us and make us your children.
Empower us to day to be carriers of hope
let us be those who bear neighbors burdens
help us to walk the holy and good road
so that your love might flourish again here. Amen
