SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS JOHN 3:16-18

The reading evokes contrasting images of God, a God who judges and a god who saves.  We might reflect on how our image of god has changed with the years.  What has helped you to believe that God is on your side?
God sent his Son into the world for this purpose, that we might have eternal life.  How has the story of Jesus helped you to believe that god wants nothing more for you than that you should have life in abundance?

The eternal life promised is life that survives all forms of death, failure, defeat and humiliation .  What has helped you to have that sense of being alive, even in painful and disappointing circumstances?
