"The Gospel in Miniature" by Jesus Christ : The Bible

"The giver makes the gift precious." So said an anonymous author. Here is a poem from the Gospel According to St. John, a poem about a precious gift from God.


THE GOSPEL IN MINIATURE
A poem of Jesus Christ

(John 3:16, which Martin Luther called
"the Gospel in miniature")

God so loved the world
That he gave his only Son,
So that everyone
Who believes in him may not
Die but have eternal life.
