Genesis 3:8-15
Psalm 24, 29
Revelations 12:1-10
John 3:16-21
John's gospel describes God's commitment to the world with an appeal to our instinct for parental love. This appeal makes the description immediately relatable, giving it weight and meaning. The beauty of God's grace is that it is given without regard for merit. We are meant to accept this gift and allow it to transform the world through our actions. In each of us, God has a conduit through which to shine His light and banish the darkness.
