today's other readings are Acts 5: 17-26 and Psalm 34
One of the most famous passages in the Gospels is featured in verse 16. So much so that sadly, it has been appropriated to publicize persons or events, including the retired professional wrestler, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who would wear a t-shirt to the ring stating "Austin 3:16".
This verse is seemingly straight forward but at the same time, is profound. Yes, God did, and does, and will to continue to love the word He created. But this world had gone astray. So He sent His only Son, Jesus, into the world. But His task wasn't to condemn the world (although he certainly challenged it in countless ways) but to save it. Which He did through His saving Passion, death and resurrection.
And for the 50 days of the season of Easter, we celebrate that reality.
How great is our God.
