John 3:16
New International Reader's Version
16 God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son. Anyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.

Why Do We Turn Away From God's Mercy? As Jesus gazed over Jerusalem, His heart broke. He longed to gather its people like a mother hen gathers her chicks-fragile, helpless, and in desperate need of care. But they didn't want His care.
It's tragic: the ones who most need mercy reject it. Throughout history, God had sent prophets to guide his people, and they killed them. By the end of Holy Week, they would kill Jesus too-the ultimate prophet and the source of their salvation. Why do we turn away from God's mercy?
Often, it's because we struggle to believe it's for us. In our world, mercy feels foreign-too good to be true. But Jesus doesn't operate like the world. Offering mercy is His deepest longing.
The cross reveals just how far He's willing to go to ensure we get what we don't deserve-His love, grace, and forgiveness-and don't get what we do deserve-death.
Jesus is aching to gather us into His care. His mercy is marked and matchless. He isn't hesitant or reluctant; He's longing to embrace us.Let's believe this mercy is real.
Let's receive it with grateful hearts and give thanks to the One who is quite literally dying to extend it to us.
