A MOST PROFOUND LOVE


The most powerful sentence in the Bible summarizes the gospel of Jesus Christ. 
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
God loves people of all colors, Christians, pagans, the good, the bad, the ugly, the rich, the poor, and children.
Here is a most profound statement: Jesus loves me, this i know, for the Bible tells me so.
Here is a most profound love song:
Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made;
Were every stalk on earth a quill and every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole though stretched from sky to sky
Oh, Love of God, how rich and pure! How measureless and strong.
It shall forevermore endure the saints and angels song.
