"A person cannot receive even one things unless it is given him from heaven. You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, 'I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.' The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom , who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. He must increase, but I must decrease." {Verses 27-30}
The second part of today's blog is what comes after the oh-so-familiar John 3:16 verse. Don't get me wrong John 3:16 is a great verse, but so often as a child/teenager, I stopped there.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. {Verses 16-18}
Just my thoughts... what are yours?
