Jesus Calls and Empowers

Jesus took on flesh out of love for the world, but his love for everyone is personal and individual. Jesus loves each person and calls them each by name. He desires to be in relationship with every person. Jesus’ love is always personal. He knows every person’s name and continually chooses them, despite their sins and failings. Jesus’ call empowers us. Like he did for Lazarus, Jesus calls each person out of their tomb— out of what binds them and into a fuller life. He calls them because he loves them.

JOHN 3:16

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life."
