John 3:17

“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Bright above him shone the heavens,

Level spread the lake before him;

From its bosom leaped the sturgeon,

Sparkling, flashing in the sunshine;

On its margin the great forest

Stood reflected in the water,

Every tree-top had its shadow,

Motionless beneath the water." ~~~Longfellow: Song of Hiawatha

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Let’s imagine a serene scene where a majestic giant sequoia tree stands tall, its branches reaching toward the heavens. The sunlight filters through the thick foliage, casting a warm glow on the forest floor. Birds nestle in its branches, and the air is filled with a sense of awe and wonder.

In this image, the sequoia represents God’s unwavering love and salvation. Just as the sequoia provides shelter and sustenance to countless creatures, God’s Son came not to condemn but to save—to offer hope, forgiveness, and eternal life.

May this image remind us of the boundless grace and compassion that God extends to all of us. 🙏🌿
