Encouraging Scripture-God made the ultimate sacrifice for us

How much would you have to love someone or something to willingly let your child suffer and die to save them?  That's hard to even imagine, isn't it?  Amazingly, the ultimate power in the universe, our God, did just that.  He sent His son Jesus to earth knowing He would be crucified, which is a particularly torturous way of executing someone.  God made that happen so Jesus' life would be held as a payment for our sins and give us a path to enter Heaven.  You don't have to understand how or why that works, just know that it does and that God loves you more than you can imagine.

God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.
John 3:16 (NIV) from Bible Gateway
