The numbers 316 should inspire hope and joy in the life of every follower of Jesus. Why? John 3:16 says it all. In this first installment of our 4-week series on John 3:16, we discussed God’s infinite and intimate character, how love is expressed in both obvious and hidden ways, and how the world that God loved/loves so much is actually the people made in His image. John 3:16 is the benchmark by which all other Bible verses are measured. It is a summary of the Bible’s message. It is God’s love. It is the Gospel.
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
