John 3:16 - THE INCOMPARABLE CHRIST!

John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, 
that he gave his only begotten Son, that 
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have 
everlasting life. 

COMMENTARY PEARLS

   More than nineteen hundred years ago 
there was a man born contrary to the laws of 
life. 
   This man lived in poverty and was reared 
in obscurity. He received no formal education 
and never possessed wealth or wide spread 
influence. 
   He never traveled extensively. He only 
once crossed the boundary of the country in which 
He lived. 
   But this man's life has changed the 
course of history. 
   In infancy He startled a king; in 
childhood He puzzled doctors; in manhood He ruled the 
course of nature, walked upon the waves, and hushed 
the sea to sleep. 
   He healed the multitudes without medicine 
and made no charge for His services. 
   He never wrote a book. Yet His life has 
inspired more books than any other man. 
   He never wrote a song. Yet He has 
furnished the theme for more songs than all 
songwriters combined. 
   He never founded a college. But all the 
schools put together cannot boast of having as many 
students. 
   He never marshaled an army, nor drafted a 
soldier, nor fired a gun. Yet no leader ever had more 
rebels surrender to Him without a shot fired. 
   He never practiced psychiatry. Yet He has 
healed more broken hearts than all the doctors far 
and near. 
   Once each week the wheels of commerce 
cease their turning, and multitudes gather to pay 
homage and respect to Him. 
   Though time has spread nineteen hundred 
years between the people of this generation and 
His birth, He still lives. His enemies could not 
destroy Him, and the grave could not hold Him. 
   This man stands forth upon the highest 
pinnacle of heavenly glory, proclaimed of God, 
acknowledged by angels, adored by His people, and feared 
by devils, as the risen Lord and Savior, Jesus 
Christ. 
   "God also hath highly exalted Him (Jesus 
Christ), and given Him a name which is above every 
name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should 
bow, of things in heaven, and things on earth, 
and things under the earth; and that every 
tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to 
the glory of God the Father" (Philippians 
2:9-10). 
   "If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the 
Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in shine heart that 
God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be 
saved" (Romans 10:9). Good News Publishers, 
Wheaton, Illinois 60187 [Out of Print] 

   More than nineteen hundred years ago 
there was a Man born contrary to the laws of life. 
This Man lived in poverty and was reared in 
obscurity. He did not travel extensively. Only once did 
He cross the boundary of the country in which 
He lived; that was during His exile in 
childhood. 
   He possessed neither wealth nor 
influence. His relatives were inconspicuous and had 
neither training nor formal education. 
   In infancy He startled a king; in 
childhood He puzzled doctors; in manhood He ruled the 
course of nature, walked upon the waves as 
pavement, and hushed the sea to sleep. 
   He healed the multitudes without medicine 
and made no charge for His service. He never 
wrote a book, and yet perhaps all the libraries of 
the world could not hold the books that have 
been written about Him. 
   He never wrote a song, and yet He has 
furnished the theme for more songs than all the 
songwriters combined. 
   He never founded a college, but all the 
schools put together cannot boast of having as many 
students. 
   He never marshaled an army, nor drafted a 
soldier, nor fired a gun; and yet no leader ever had 
more volunteers who have, under His orders, made 
more rebels stack arms and surrender without a 
shot fired. 
   He never practiced medicine, and yet He 
has healed more broken hearts than all the 
doctors far and near. 
   Once each week multitudes congregate in 
worshiping assemblies to pay homage and respect to 
Him. 
   The names of the past, proud statesmen of 
Greece and Rome have come and gone. The names of 
the past scientists, philosophers, and 
theologians have come and gone. But the name of this Man 
multiplies more and more. 
   Though time has spread almost two 
thousand years between the people of this generation 
and the mockers at His crucifixion, He still 
lives. His enemies could not destroy Him, and the 
grave could not hold Him. 
   He stands forth upon the highest pinnacle 
of heavenly glory, proclaimed of God, 
acknowledged by angels, adored by saints, and feared by 
devils as the risen, personal Christ, our Lord and 
Savior. 
   We are either going to be forever with 
Him, or forever without Him. It was the 
incomparable Christ who said: 
   "Come to Me, all you who are weary and 
burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28 
   "I am the way and the truth and the life. 
No one comes to the Father except through Me." 
John 14:6 
   For "There is one God and one mediator 
between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." 1 
Timothy 2:5 
   Therefore "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and 
you will be saved." Acts 16:31 American Tract 
Society, Garland, TX. [Out of Print]
