The Great Conversation Focuses on God’s Giving
Monday, March 3, 2008 The Great Conversation Focuses on God’s Giving
I have missed going through Max Lucado’s book, 3:16 . . The Numbers of Hope the past few days. This morning, my meditation took me to another portion of the Great Conversation between Nicodemus and Jesus in the room that nite. It was a continuation of course of the theme expressed by Jesus to Nicodemus at the beginning of the conversation when Nicodemus that God was ‘with him (Jesus”. Jesus said that a man must be born again. It is clear from the dialogue that this response catches Nicodemus off guard and by surprise, and naturally he questions the response.
Jesus culminates the conversation with the statement God so loved the world, that He gave His Son. This of course says a mouthful. Each person in the room that nite must have thought long and hard about these words. The focus of Christianity begins with this focus.. that God loved and God gave. That is the focus we must have as we relate to God.
