Jesus: and the World
I found a really clever image representing the land masses and oceans of our (physical) world:
Our day is not easy to compare to the era in which Jesus lived - also a blood-stained era. However, John's record has many mentions of our world. The world may be loved; may hate; may alarm; may reject its maker; may serve its usurper-ruler; may hear God's Spirit; may receive news of the lasting peace offer.
A famous old song about God loving the world so very much by Sir John Stainer (1840-1901): https://youtu.be/24pe76Edh_s?si=yU_4bHZ5vS69IKWT
Here again are those words: For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life (John 3:16, NRSVUE).
The gift of eternal life was not cheap. God gave his only Son to open the invitation.
In the world (and nation) today there is sadly so much to doubt, fear, grieve and lament again (still).
No, the gift of eternal life was not cheap. God gave his only Son. Jesus’ immediate focus was his own people. Some of the people of the ancient “homeland” (Judea/Galilee) were his genetic relatives. Others were co-religionists, resident within the area recognised as being ruled (as far as Rome agreed) under the ancient Jewish Law. (There was a complication even in this, because many followers of Judaism lived in other lands.) The writer of John sums up the meaning of Jesus coming and what Jesus did:
Jesus: Way; Truth; Life
extended 26-28/10/23
I (Jesus) am the way, the truth and the life
