God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son —John 3:16.

How great a gift was this! What thrilling sensations have these words sent through millions of mankind! God so loved the whole of mankind, that He gave for their salvation His only begotten Son. The greatness of the love is measured by the nature of the sacrifice. What could He give more? What could He give greater? In this the infinity of His love shines forth as gloriously as His infinite power and wisdom do in the creation and government of the world.
