God's love for the entire world
INTRODUCTION
Good day parishioners. I will be sharing with us another phase of God's love towards humanity. God gave us His only begotten Son as the solution to the I'm mediate and ultimate problem of humanity, despite that man didn't deserve the Gift.
He extended His love, beginning with Isreal to the whole world, through the life of God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. John the Baptist (the forerunner of Jesus Christ) is very pivotal in the declaration and manifestation of this love Personified on the stage of humanity. God's love always shows in His plans and actions.
May we blessed as we continue to learn from His throne. Amen.

1 John 4:9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
EPOXITION
It is in the plan of God to prepare the ways for the coming of The expected Messiah. God needed a ready home for this child, and He found this, He found in Zacharias and Elizabeth. So, He chose them to raise and teach him in His ways.
Luke 1:17 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
John the Baptist was born as the Lord's forerunner, introducing Him to the world. The people needed an intermediary, like John, to reconcile their spiritual laxity with the appearance of God's Love-incarnate. In the ancient times, when someone was needed to make the roads smooth for the king's arrival, and announce and introduce him to the people, John was given that task, in the spiritual sense, in relation to Christ.
Finally, God sent His Son.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.The passage above is a powerful summary of God's love. It tells us the very hear of God. He is the God of the great love. Not only does the world say He loves us, but He also perfectly proved His love by sending His Son to save our souls, so that we might live and be with Him, eternally. What a blessing! His love for us is not base on our actions, but on how much He loves us. It is grace in love that He just loves us as we are. His love will last forever. He will neither withdraw, nor stop loving us. God has proven His love for us, through His Son, and is still listening to His Son as He intercedes for us. What a Love in action___the greatest gift ever!
The Son was given to also deliver humanity. And she bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.
Everything God does has a specific purpose. Because He loves humanity, He had to revisit the project in Gen 3:15.
Jesus is the full proof of God's unmatched love for man to deliver us, by His atoning death, giving us eternal life. By this those who believe, now have salvation.
The name 'Jesus' means 'God, my savior.' God became man to deliver man from Satan's grip, when man least deserved such kind gesture__the height of love.
The full expression of God's love is seen in the fact that God sent Jesus to give full salvation to man. Don't reject this great Gift!
Salvation must be EXPERIENCED and EXPRESSED. How are you going about it's expression?
Thanks for reading to this end.

God love for us is unconditional....to the extend of while we are still sinners , he died for us....
Through my acting in front of others, giving food to the hungry, drinking the thirsty, visiting the sick, speaking his word, I express my gratitude to God, for sending his son Jesus Christ to die for me and for all on the cross .
