What is the most widely known verse in the Bible? Certainly John 3:16 has the top honors. Why is this verse so well known? Because it is God, the Son of Man and True god, speaking of the love of His Father and yours, speaking of salvation and eternal life. The problem for us is to understand just what kind of love God has for you and how He works out His love in the here and now and lasting for eternity in christ Jesus our Lord. Please come and hear the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ from the Gospel of Saint John, 3:1-17, and know what God’s love really is. Learn from Jesus Himself in His Word and Sacrament.
