God Loved Us, So He Sent His Son – Piano Solo

“God Loved Us, So He Sent His Son” is a song from the LDS Hymnal and is one of the hymns that is usually sung right before the administration of the sacrament to prepare hearts and minds for that sacred ordinance. This hymn bases it’s text on one of the scriptures from our lesson, John 3:16–17.

• 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.
• 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

The other scripture this hymn bases it’s text from is –Doctrine and Covenants 34:3

D&C 34:3 Who so ^aloved the world that he ^bgave his own life, that as many as would believe might become the ^csons of God. Wherefore you are my son;

This week’s Come Follow Me lesson is studying John 2-4 and is titled “Ye Must Be Born Again.” This video has scenes from bible video depictions of some of the things that happen within these chapters; “Jesus turning water into wine”, “Jesus Cleansing the Temple” and “Jesus teaching a Samaritan woman”.

In the manual its says:

“At a marriage feast in Cana, Christ changed water into wine—an event John called the “beginning of miracles” (John 2:11). That’s true in more than one sense. While this was the first miracle Jesus performed publicly, it can also symbolize another miraculous beginning—the process of our hearts being transformed as we become ever more like our Savior. This miracle of a lifetime begins with the decision to follow Jesus Christ, to change and live a better life through Him. This miracle can be so life-changing that being “born again” is one of the best ways to describe it (John 3:7). But rebirth is just the beginning of the path of discipleship. Christ’s words to the Samaritan woman at the well remind us that if we continue on this path, eventually the gospel will become “a well of water” inside us, “springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14)”.
