Jesus came to seek and to save ...

"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."  John 3:17 

Most of us can recite John 3:16, which tells of God's incredible love for the people of Earth and the gift of His Son, but verse 17 offers a large measure of hope also. Jesus didn't come to this earth to condemn people – God sent His Son on a mission - to seek and save.  

What a blessing it is to know that we don't have to feel guilty when we make mistakes - Jesus is there for us! He has offered to forgive us if we confess our sins – He is eager to help us in every need. Stay in contact with him through prayer. 

May you go into this day, knowing that you have a Friend who won't abandon you, and confident of Jesus' love and care for you.
