Today’s Gospel

Yes, God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but may have eternal life. God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world; instead, through him the world is to be saved. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned. He who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

This is how Judgment is made: Light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For whoever does wrong hates the light, and doesn’t come to the light, for fear that his deeds will be seen as evil. But whoever lives according to the truth comes into the light, so that it can be clearly seen that his works have been done in God.”

 Today’s Reflection

John 3:16 is probably the most famous line in the Fourth Gospel. We see it everywhere: from keychains to almost every kind of house décor. The theme song for the 1995 World Youth Day held in Manila also made John 3:16 even more famous and catchy even to millennials. Its popularity surely lies in its being the “Gospel in Summary”. All the Scriptures are contained in those words, salvation history is summarized in those words! This Easter Season, let us reflect more deeply on this beautiful passage in the Gospel of John and thank the Lord for his love, for his gift of salvation, and eternal life in Jesus his Son, our Lord.
