TUESDAY, 2nd WEEK OF EASTER-A
I Reading: Acts 4:32-37: United, heart and soul.
Gospel: 3:7-17: No one has gone up to heaven except the one who came
down from heaven, the Son of Man.
God’s Great Love, John 3:16-17
Three types of love: (Agape= sacrificial love; phileo= blood
relational love; and eros= an erotic love)
This is the world’s most well-known Scripture. Brief and to the
point. Jesus revealed God’s great love (agape=sacrificial love).
1. The fact: God so loved
(v.16)
2. The evidence: God gave
(v.16)
3. The purpose: To save
(v.16)
a.
From perishing
b.
To eternal life
c.
By believing
4. The proof: God sent His
Son (the Incarnation) (v.17)
a.
Not to condemn
b.
But to save
5. The means: through Him
(Jesus Christ)
Thought:
God Loved: past tense: A past, proven fact. An outline of the greatness of
God’s love is seen in this verse.
1) Height: God loved
2) Depth: so loved
3) Length: God gave
4) Breadth: whoever (Jn 21: 15-17)
