For God So Loved invites you to join Christ on his final earthly journey as you rediscover the very reason we remember and undertake this same pilgrimage year after year.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 is a Bible verse that many of us are so familiar with it has almost become rote. Sometimes our Christian practices and observances can become a matter of routine too.
Written by Dan Boone, Samantha Chambo, Tara Beth Leach, and Jeren Rowell, this Lenten devotional aims to help you establish an intentional time of spiritual reflection. For God So Loved invites you to join Christ on his final earthly journey as you rediscover the very reason we remember and undertake this same pilgrimage year after year.
For God So Loved contains Lectionary-based reflections and prayers for each day of Lent, from Ash Wednesday through Easter, so that you remain connected and engaged with Christ from his very first step toward the cross.
