John 3:16 beautifully captures the entire Gospel in one verse. It tells the story of a God whose love was so great that He came down to rescue us. We could not save ourselves, but God, moved by immeasurable love, gave His Son so we could have eternal life. Jesus did not come reluctantly—He willingly laid down His life to defeat sin and death and to set us free. Christmas reminds us that love didn’t stay distant; love came down.

TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
— John 3:16


YOUR NIGHTLY PRAYER

Dear Father,
Thank You for Your great love—a love so powerful that it came down from Heaven to save us. Thank You for giving Jesus freely and willingly so that we might have life, forgiveness, and hope. Help me never to forget that my salvation is not earned but received through Your grace. Tonight, I rest in the truth that I am deeply loved, fully redeemed, and eternally secure because of what You have done for me through Your Son. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.


THREE THINGS TO MEDITATE UPON

  1. How does remembering God’s sacrificial love in John 3:16 reshape the way you see your worth and identity?

  2. Do you fully believe that Jesus willingly laid down His life for you? What does that reveal about God’s heart toward you?

  3. How can you respond to God’s love this season—through gratitude, trust, or sharing His love with others?
