“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son…” John 3:16

For anyone who has ever lost a son through death, or, by simply leaving home, consider this…

The reason Jesus was born, instead of coming down from Heaven as a full grown man, was so his Father, who enjoyed watching him grow from birth to manhood, could, like human fathers, experience the same loss and sorrow; thus making God’s gift to us - the death of His own precious son – even more tangible and real.

For those who are hurting over the loss of a son who has left home, please play Pastor Bob's sermon, "From Twenty Years Old and Upward"
