How Much Does He Love Me?
John 3:16 For years I had preached that God loved us so much that He gave His only Son. I preached about the constant call of the cross, the sacrificial work and the pain and suffering the Son endured on the cross. However, about four years ago my oldest son, who bears my name, who looks like me, walks like me, and even talks like me, had an accident. He climbed upon the kitchen counter to get a glass and while doing so dropped it and proceeded to cut his foot open. Needless to say, he was rushed to the doctor. The doctor said, “Before I can help him, I need to give him a local anesthetic.” As he gave him the injection I turned away. I could not bear to watch, but I could hear the screams he yelled out. I cringed with each scream, for it was as if I was receiving the injection. It was at that point that I was able to better understand the Father’s love for me. He allowed His Son to hurt so I could be helped.—B. James Noel, Sr.
