<p>A GREAT BLESSING — JESUS CHRIST</p><p><strong>Main Scripture:</strong> John 3:16–21<br><strong>Supporting Scriptures:</strong> John 3:36; Matthew 16:24</p><p>There are many blessings we can receive in life—family, health, opportunities, possessions, relationships, titles and achievements. But there is one blessing greater than all of them: <strong>Jesus Christ.</strong></p><p>John 3:16 reveals the heart of the Gospel: God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.</p><p>Jesus is not merely something God gave us. <strong>Jesus is God&#39;s greatest gift to humanity.</strong></p><p>This gift is available to everyone—rich and poor, educated and uneducated, believer and unbeliever, regardless of culture, background or social position.</p><p>But receiving Jesus also means allowing Him to change the way we live.</p><p><strong>Key Thought:</strong> We do not receive Jesus simply to add Him to our lives; we receive Him so that He can transform our lives.</p><p>INTRODUCTION</p>
