Sin chao! Daily verse from the Kinh Thanh! That's Vietnamese for Bible.

Good morning, evening, or afternoon! Today's verse is John 3:16-17. "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." This is a verse that is often quoted when witnessing. Some of hte unsaved may not nderstand the wording so I plan to explain it to you. The Lord God loves you so much even though you did so many sins. He sent His firstborn Son, Him ONLY Son to die and save you. Many people say that Christians believe in a humiliated Savior that was nothing more than a criminal. You are right when you say tat we believe in a humiliated Savior. Christ had to humble Himself and suffer the humiliation to save us from our sins. You're dead wrong when you say that He was nothing more than a criminal. He was our Savior. He was a healer of sickness and wounds. He was the ultimate example for Christians to follow. He left His throne in heaven to come to a filthy sinful world and suffer humiliation and pain. Could you do that? Could you leave your great home and go to a foreign disease filled land? Then, have the people mock and scorn you after you've done so much to help them? What about teaching a group of twelve grown men to be like you? Christ did all that. God the Father had to turn away from His own son because Christ took all the sins on HImself. Fahers out there. Do you know the pain God felt when He had to turn His back on His Son? And it was all because of your sin and everyone elses in the world. Sons and daughters that are reading. Would you want your own dad to turn away from you when you're suffering and you need His help the most? Christ felt that pain. He had hever been separated from His father and now, in this strange land away from heaven, He felt His Father's back on Him. Both endured the apin willingly for your sake. to save you if you only believed. Then you would have everlasting life. God didn't send Christ to go down and say, "You're bad, and you're bad." God sent Him to save.
