ONE SON, ONE SAVIOR

John 3:16-17
Holy Bible. New Living Translation copyright © 1996, 2004 by Tyndale Charitable Trust.

16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.


If you were not a regular churchgoer, you might think that the was only one verse in the Bible … John 3:16. You see it at football games, you know, the guy in the end zone with the rainbow wig holding up the sign that simply says John 3:16. You see it on bumper stickers, billboards, t-shirts. I even have a tie with the words to this scripture.

I am sure that the thought behind this is that John 3:16 would catch someone’s attention enough to get them to open a Bible and read what it says. Maybe the sign or tie would draw a comment and open an opportunity to share God’s love … John 3:16 and more.

What more you ask? John 3:16 is enough. The truth is the whole Bible is one message. From Genesis to Revelation it points to Christ. Praise God we have more than one verse.

One Book … One Message … One Son … One Savior … Jesus Christ.
