Our Hope John 3:16 says: For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. I just love this well known verse because it reminds us of God's amazing, never ending everlasting love. But you might be wondering how does this verse give us hope? Well Jesus is our hope because of Jesus’ Death on the cross we live. Today we celebrate the empty tomb. Because Jesus laid down His life for us we can have a relationship with Jesus. We are no longer having to sacrifice.
