1. Not to condemn, but to save (16-18)

God loves all the people in the world. He loved Nicodemus too. He showed his love by sending his beloved Son to die for the sins of the world. We are all swimming in a sea of death because of our sins. Jesus came to save all people who put their trust in him. When we receive Jesus, we are accepting God's loving, saving hand extended to us. He gives us eternal life. When we reject Jesus, we are condemned, not because he condemns us, but because we are already condemned because of our sin.

2. Come to the light (19-21)

To come to the light means to repent and come to Jesus. Men reject Jesus because they love darkness; they want to cling to sin. Proud people don't want to have their sins exposed by God's light. They don't want to repent. Those who love truth come to the light, no matter what the cost.


Prayer: Lord, thank you for your love and grace which saved me from sin. Help me to live in your light with a repentant heart.

One Word: God loves even me
