God So Loved the World

This Sunday, the readings contain words which should comfort everyone of us. We should share these words freely and widely to an unbelieving world.

From Ephesians 2:1-10 I pulled out verses 4-9

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God— 9 not the result of works, so that no one may boast. 

And from John 3:14-21, the famous verse 16,

16 ‘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.

Now listen to Sir John Stainer's version of "God So Loved the World" and feel the peace that God's love brings to the world.
