John 3:16

"For God so loved the world..." probably the most quoted and well-known biblical verses. God gave His Son, Jesus Christ, to sacrifice Himself for humanity's sin. It was the only way for God's wrath to be satisfied. Jesus Christ's death on the cross satisfied the Father's wrath toward sin.

An article I read by Dr. Charles Lawless, Dean of The Billy Graham School of Church Growth, Evangelism, and Missions at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, reflected his inability to sleep at night reflecting on the 1.7 billion in the world who have not trusted in the gospel. Some of them have never heard about Jesus and what He did on the cross or some of them have heard and have not trusted in Him. I wonder with Dr. Lawless when was the last time we were unable to sleep at night contemplating about the people who have not trusted in Jesus Christ.

I hope you join with me in praying for the lost and seeking opportunities to share John 3:16 with them.
