John
3:16

A little boy
was selling newspapers on the corner,

the people were
in and out of the cold.

The little boy
was so cold that he wasn’t trying to sell

many papers.

He walked up to
a policeman and said,

“Mister, you
wouldn’t happen to know where a poor boy

could find a
warm place to sleep tonight would you?

You see, I
sleep in a box up around the corner there and

down the alley
and it’s awful cold in there for tonight.

Sure would be
nice to have a warm place to stay.”

The policeman
looked down at the little boy and said, “You

go down the
street to that big white house and you knock

on the door.
When they come out the door you just say

John 3:16, and
they will let you in.”

So he did. He
walked up the steps and knocked on the

door, and a
lady answered. He looked up and said,

“John 3:16.”
The lady said, “Come on in, Son.”

She took him in
and she sat him down in a split! bottom

rocker in front
of a great big old fireplace, and she went

off. The boy
sat there for a while and thought to himself:

John 3:16
.   I don’t understand   it, but it sure
makes a

cold boy warm.

Later she came
back and asked him “Are you hungry ? ”

He said, “Well,
just a little.. I haven’t eaten in a couple of

days, and I
guess I could stand a little bit of food,”

The lady took
him in the kitchen and sat him down to a table

full of
wonderful food. He ate and ate until he couldn’t eat

any more.. Then
he thought to himself:

John ! 3:16
.Boy, I sure don’t understand it but it sure

makes a hungry
boy full.

She took him
upstairs to a bathroom to a huge bathtub

filled with
warm water, and he sat there and soaked for a

while. As he
soaked, he thought to himself: John 3:16

I sure don’t
understand it, but it sure makes a dirty boy

clean. You
know, I’ve not had a bath, a real bath, in my

whole life. The
only bath I ever had was when I stood in

front of that
big old fire hydrant as they flushed it out.

The lady came
in and got him. She took him to a room,

tucked him into
a big old feather bed , pulled the covers

up around his
neck, kissed him goodnight and turned out

the lights. As
he lay in the darkness and looked out the

window at the
snow coming down on that cold night,

he thought to
himself: John 3:16…I don’t understand it but

it sure makes a
tired boy rested.

The next
morning the lady came back up and took him

down again to
that same big table full of food. After he

ate, she took
him back to that same big old split bottom

rocker in front
of20the fireplace and picked up

a big old
Bible.

She sat down in
front of him and looked into his young face.

“Do you
understand John   3:16 ?” she asked gently. He

replied, “No,
Ma’am, I don’t. The first time I ever heard it

was last night
when the policeman told me to use it,”

She opened Th e
Bible to John 3:16 and began to explain

to him about
Jesus. Right there, in front of that big old fireplace,

he gave his
heart and life to Jesus. He sat there

and thought:
John 3:16 — don’t understand it, but it sure

makes a lost
boy feel safe.

You know, I
have to confess   I don’t understand   it
either,

how God was
willing to send His Son to die for me, and how

Jesus would
agree to do such a thing.   I don’t understand

the agony! y of
the Father and every angel in heaven as

they watched
Jesus suffer and die.   I don’t
understand   the intense

love for ME
that kept Jesus on the cross till the end.

I don’t
understand   it, but it sure does make life worth
living.

John 3:16 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.

If you aren’t
ashamed to do this, please follow the directions .

Jesus said, “If
you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed

of you before
my Father.Pass this on only if you mean
it.    I do Love God. He is my source of existence.. He
keeps

me functioning
each and every day. Phil 4:13   If you love

God and are not
ashamed of all the marvelous things he

has done for
you, send this on.

Take 60 seconds
& give this a shot !

Let’s just
see if Satan stops this one.

All you
do is:

1) Simply say a
small prayer for the person who sent you this,

“Father, God
bless this person in whatever it is that You know

he or she may
be needing this day !”

2) Then send it
on to ten other people.

Within hours
ten people have prayed for you,

and you caused
a multitude of people to pray to God.
