Martin Luther, the great reformer, famously called John 3:16 "The Gospel in miniature." He saw it as the entire Bible in a single sentence—a "nutshell" that holds the infinite weight of God’s love for you and me.

Today, we’re going to walk through this "miniature Gospel" and look at what happens next. Because after Jesus gives us the greatest promise in history, He explains why some people run toward it and why some people run away from it.

John 3:16–21 (ESV)— “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”
