John 3.16.jpg

I’ve been fascinated with the concept of motive for as long as I can remember. I think it has something to do with all of the crime drama shows I watched as a kid and that I find so interesting even to this day.

So as we draw closer to Christmas, some people may wonder why God chose to send Jesus in this way at that time and for the purpose of saving humankind from sin. What was God’s motivation?
