John 3:13-17:
Jesus continues his instruction of Nicodemus with reference to Moses and the elevated serpent. Elevation-exaltation is central to John’s theology as it is to all Christianity. With that is the understanding that God’s motivation to give his only Son is love, love for all creation especially humanity. Salvation is dependent upon that love.
My dearest Jesus, you emptied yourself. You humbled yourself. You were obedient to your Father to your death. How can I forget that? How can I ignore that? How do I measure up to that kind of love?
