For God so loved the world …
The melody of the anthem
we sang in the church choir
when I was in high school
floats over me,
embeds itself in me,
repeats itself …
that God gave his only begotten Son …
The days of Lent are passing too quickly.
Almost over almost over.
Where have the days gone?
What have we done?
that whoso believeth, believeth in him …
Keep your eyes on me.
Shall not perish shall not perish
Eyes on me.
but have everlasting life
everlasting life
Eyes on me.
Many did, many didn’t
keep their eyes on Jesus.
Many do, many don’t
keep their eyes on Jesus.
God gave covenant
commandments
laws
life
freedom
promise
hope
and love …
and they complained
about the food.
The story makes me nervous.
For God so loved the world
that God gavegavegavegave
gave his only Son
that whoever believes in him
will have everlasting life.
Gave!
We don’t have to earn it.
If we believe we will follow we will live.
Believe follow live.
Live because you follow because you believe
God’s good news.
