Verse of the Week

Can you believe it? I forgot the verse of the week! So here is the mid-week verse of the week. (-:
John 3:16
  For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
In Sunday school that is one of the first verses that you learn. Every believer knows that one. But you always need the reminder.
 I heard a sermon about Jesus' crucifixion and how much sacrifices He made. At first I was all like, I don't need to listen. I have heard that story millions of times. But this pastor preached it differently. All of a sudden, I realized that I didn't know the full story. I thought I did, until I head this pastor. I came to a whole new realization about my belief. I heard the story, but I never really heard it. Yes, I had Jesus in my heart. I prayed to Him, He answered my prayers, but all of a sudden I heard this story in a completely different light.
I am so happy and thankful that God sent Jesus to die on the cross for my sins.
I would like to encourage you to go and read the crucifixion story again. I am almost positive that you will discover something new.
