John 3:16 - Easter Crucifix
"So must the Son of Man be lifted up"
Gospel reading: John 3:13-17

16 For God so Loved the world that HE gave HIS only Son, that whoever believes in HIM should not perish but have Eternal Life.
MEDITATION
"The proof of God's Love for us...
“There is no greater proof of God's Love for us then the sending of HIS Son to become one with us in our humanity and to lay down HIS life for us. "To ransom a slave God gave HIS Son" (an ancient prayer from the Easter vigil liturgy). God sent HIS Son to free us from the worst of tyrannies - slavery to sin and the curse of death. Jesus' sacrificial death was an act of total love through self-giving. Jesus gave HIMSELF completely out of Love for HIS Father. And HE willing laid down HIS life out of selfless Love for our sake and for our salvation. HIS death on the cross was both a total offering to God and the perfect sacrifice of atonement for our sin and the sin of the world.
“John tells us that God's Love cannot be limited because it is boundless and encompasses all of creation (John 3:16).
“The Love of God is rooted in Truth, Goodness, and Mercy...
“God gives us the freedom to choose whom and what we will Love and not Love. We can Love the darkness of sin and unbelief or we can Love the light of God's Truth, Goodness, and Mercy. If our Love is guided by Truth, Goodness, and that which is truly Beautiful, then we will choose for God and Love HIM above all else. What we Love shows what we prefer.
“Do you Love God who is the supreme good above all else? And do you seek to put HIM first in all your thoughts, cares, choices, and actions?"
"Lord Jesus Christ, Your death brought Life for us. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I may walk in Freedom and Joy as a child of God and as an heir with Christ of an eternal inheritance."
