The Father’s saving work revealed in Christ

When we read John 3:16, we get a very vivid picture of the “business” of the Father. His ultimate aim is to save souls, which He accomplishes through the sacrifice of His only begotten Son. The business that Jesus was about in Jerusalem at age twelve was finished on the cross in His thirties. We experience the real presence of Christ in Holy Communion when we come to understand the profound nature of this eternal truth.
