January 19: John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but ...

... may have eternal life.

This passage of Scripture has been called the Gospel in Miniature, because it sums up the Good News in a very concise few words. All over the world, in many languages, this one sentence helps non-believers come to understand the gift of life that Jesus offers. The gift is eternal, and it is available to all who accept it, and it comes from the only Son of God.
