The Mission of God and Jesus
The Mission of God and Jesus
Scripture: John 3:16-21
God’s love for the world is demonstrated through his greatest gift: Jesus Christ, who offers both life and light. This isn’t merely biological existence, but God’s own life that begins through faith and continues into eternity. Jesus also provides light that reveals truth about God, ourselves, and reality while exposing what’s broken and showing the path to restoration. Many people resist this light because it exposes their darkness, preferring to hide rather than be transformed. True belief in Jesus means more than religious activity—it requires turning from darkness, repenting of sin, and walking in his light. For believers, this gift comes with the responsibility to share this life and light with others still living in spiritual darkness.
