I Asked Jesus, "How Much Do You Love Me?"
"THIS MUCH," He answered
and He Stretched Out His Arms and Died
The Very Words of Christ (speaking of Himself):
For
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He
who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is
condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God. And
this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” -The Gospel of John, Chapter 3, verses 16-21 (NKJV)
