Dwight L. Moody said that for
many years after he began tc

found in Jesus, the dignity and
severity in God. Perhaps, he
said, it was because one of his
favorite hymns was:

of God, in Jesus. Jesus, some
how seemed to protect weak and

while he was reading John 3:
16, it dawned upon him that
God gave Jes-us: “For God sc
loved the world that he gave his
only begotten son.” That was a
red letter day in Moody’s life
and from that time on there was
a different tone in his voice
when he talked of God. It was
in the heart and mind of God
that all thoughts of tenderness
and forgiveness were born.
