God Sent Jesus Because He Loves Us

📖 Bible Verse

🕊️ Story / Reflection

God loves us so much that He sent Jesus to the world.

Jesus came to show us what God is like. He loved people, helped people, healed people, and taught people about God.

God did not send Jesus because we are perfect. He sent Jesus because He loves us.

When you feel lonely, remember that God loves you.

When you make mistakes, remember that God loves you.

When you feel unsure, remember that God loves you.

Jesus is God’s gift of love to the world.

Because God loves us, we never have to be alone.
