TUESDAY, 2nd WEEK OF EASTER-B
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 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)
