There is one text of Scripture that towers above and beyond all others. It is without question the single, most known Bible verse in the entire world. And the expression it produces is always one of awe.

It is known by the youngest of children who are first learning to read, and it is pondered by the oldest of the aged who stand on the threshold of eternity.

Of course, I’m referring to John 3:16 —It is that singular sentence that stands uniquely alone – needing no commentary, and soliciting only reverence.
