Trusting Jesus

“The One that God sent speaks God’s words. And don’t think he rations out the Spirit in bits and pieces. The Father loves the Son extravagantly. He turned everything over to him so he could give it away—a lavish distribution of gifts. That is why whoever accepts and trusts the Son gets in on everything, life complete and forever! And that is also why the person who avoids and distrusts the Son is in the dark and doesn’t see life. All he experiences of God is darkness, and an angry darkness at that.”
John 3:34‭-‬36 MSG

What a brilliant interpretation of these passages. The message lends itself to clarity in many ways. I remember when I first came to Christ I used a copy of the Living Bible, itself also a paraphrase. It sure made the bible a joy to read, as does this version.

Accepting Christ as saviour and lord sure opens doors to all God has for me. What a blessing! I once was in sin in the dark and now live in the light. How good is that! Amen!
