Last night I had the pleasure of taking my daughter, Briley, to see Lauren Daigle in concert. One of the first songs she is known for is “How Can It Be”. As she sang last night, I was reminded again of what the cross means to you and I.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”
John 3:16-17 NIV
No matter our mistakes. No matter our failures. God sent His son Jesus Christ to die on the cross so that you and I may have everlasting life. That concept is so hard to understand, so hard to believe. Why would anyone take our punishment? As Lauren Daigle sings, how can it be?
On this Finish Friday, let’s hold on to the love and grace of John 3:16. Let’s share that verse of mercy with others. Let others learn about God’s promise of eternity through our own living testimony. What actions in your daily life are a reflection for others to see your belief in John 3:16?
Listen to the words of this song and gain power and strength from God’s love and mercy for you.
