—John 3:17-21
by: Irene B. Saunders.
When we look up to Jesus and yield our willful spirits to him, we allow the Holy Spirit to accomplish the miracle of being born again. God's great love for the world made it possible for us to be made new, to be born again. The refrain to Charles Wesley's poem "And Can It Be That I Should Gain?" tells it well: "Amazing love! How can it be that thou, my God, shouldst die for me!" Such great love for God's sinful creation reaches over the centuries: "For God SO loved."
