John 16:23-28

In this gospel, Jesus reminds us that we can go to God because God loves you. Jesus did not die to change God into love but to remind us that God is love. He came not because God so hated the world but because God so loved the world. The gospel today is reminding us in a simple and straightforward way that in every aspect of life there is the love of God, and we never would have known that if Jesus had not told us so. Jesus brought to us the love of God.
