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. John 3:16

There are great wonders in the world that exemplify the creative imagination and crafty innovations of man. Massive structures worthy of time and thought that remind us of the strength and will of man. These wonders are monuments to man’s determination for good and great self-achievement. Yet the wonder that excels them all is the wonder of God’s love. The scripture passage is popular among many well-known Bible verses and recited quite often in the gospel presentation. It is cited and often used as a support statement to strengthen an argument to win-over the loss or demonstrate that God cares. Far more than we could ever think or imagine, we find in this scripture passage the core of who God is and the great wonder of His Divine love. God more than cares for the world, “God so loved the world.” All that is within Him is love. He spared nothing to express His great love for the world which was perishing (Rom 8:32). God demonstrated “His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom 5:8). God expressed “the breath, and length, and depth, and height” (Eph 4:17) of His inexhaustible love “that He gave His only begotten Son.” The wonderful gift of God’s love is “His only begotten Son.” The one and only Divine Son of the Father who is the “express image” (Heb 1:3) of God’s love. “For in Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily” (Col 2:9). Christ Jesus was loved of the Father and demonstrated the Father’s love to the world through His obedience and death on the cross. My friend, God can do no more to demonstrate His love and express the love He has for you and I than “that He gave His only begotten Son.” His greatest desire for all mankind is “whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Father, thank You for Your love and the wonderful gift of Your love through Jesus Christ, Your only begotten Son. In the blessed Name of Jesus. Amen.
