John 3:14-21 The sixteenth verse of the third

chapter in John's Gospel is undoubtedly the most memorable verse in

all of Scripture. It is often the first verse to be memorized by

children and is the one most likely to be seen on billboards at

sporting events. This verse's popularity is for good reason for it

surely captures with beauty and clarity the very heart of the

gospel. However, to rightly appreciate its message, it is necessary

to understand its context in Scripture. Again, we will discover

Jesus' invitation to trust Him in full surrender.
