Today's Reading: John 3:16-17; Romans 5:6-8

Devotional: The gospel is the ultimate expression of God's love for humanity. It reveals a God who doesn't stand aloof from our suffering but enters into it, taking on human flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. This love is not based on our worthiness but on God's character – He loved us even while we were still sinners.

Today, meditate on the depth of God's love for you personally.

How does the reality of Christ's sacrifice impact your daily life? Consider ways you can reflect this sacrificial love to others, especially those who might be difficult to love. Remember, we love because He first loved us.
