4th Sunday of Lent: For God so Loved the World...

Today's Gospel features one of the most popular and beloved verses in all of Scripture: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal life..." Today we examine what this means more closely by looking at the verse that comes right before it: "For just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up..." We discover what Jesus means by this confusing phrase, what it has to do with Jesus, and how all of this fits in with God's plan of love.
