John 3:11-21 "Look Upon Your Sin"

This last week I preached over the remaining text from John 3:1-21, which was from the 11th to the 21st verses.

The focus was that when we come face to face with Christ upon the cross that we come face to face with our own sin.  I can tell you from personal experience that this is not at all a comfortable experience.  The sermon isn't overly long, so please take a few moments and give it a listen.

I've been swamped this week with spending Monday and Tuesday at a Church Security Seminar down in Des Moines, it was a thoroughly interesting conference, but missing two days has really backed me up in what was already a hectic time period.

So with that, I will just say... "Be a blessing to someone today"!

In His Love, Grace, and Glory,

John 3:11-21 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
11 “Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you[a] do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man.[b] 14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.[c]

16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.

17 “Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. 20 For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed. 21 But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.”
