Candidate for ministry from Crossroads, Nam Ok Yoo, returns to Crossroads to offer the sermon on this fourth Sunday of the season of Lent. The text for the day is John 3:14-21. It includes John 3:16, one of the most foundational texts of the New Testament, and, Nam Ok confesses, a challenging one for her.
She asks how we can reconcile the abundant and generous love of God, the focus of the first part of the text, with the “condemnation” which is mentioned in the second part. Listen to hear how (with the help of author Rob Bell) she resolves this conflict.
