Love that Costs

David Platt
About this episode

True love is always costly. In the greatest display of love in all of history, Jesus laid down his life on our behalf. In this message from John 3:14–16, David Platt highlights the magnitude of Christ’s love for us and invites us to gaze upon the cross. Jesus points us back to Numbers 21 where we see a picture of his gracious, substitutionary death for sinners. By recognizing the extent of our rebellion, we begin to grasp the undeserved love of God in Christ.
