Henry Moorhouse always enjoyed preaching on John 3:16 When he came to the world whoever, he emphasized its all-inclusiveness. That term, he pointed out, makes it clear that everyone and anyone who trusts Christ will be saved.
He was glad that the word whoever appeared in John 3:16 instead of the name Henry Moorhouse. If that name were there, he couldnt be sure it meant him. He explained how he came to that conclusion:
"I once bought a typewriter that was shipped mistakenly to another man named Henry Moorhouse at a different address. If John 3:16 had said that God loved Henry Moorhouse, I could have thought it meant the other Henry Moorhouse. But since it says whoever, there can be no mistake!" He could be sure it included him.
Yes, whoever covers everyone. If you already believe in Christ, thank Him for your salvation. If not, place your trust in Christ right now and receive His gift of eternal life and all the blessings that accompany it deliverance from condemnation, forgiveness of sin, peace with God, and the promise of heaven.
Whos the who in "whoever"? Its you. Its me. Its everyone and anyone. Thats who! Richard De Haan
When Jesus said "whoever,"
He included you and me;
For no one is excluded
From His offer full and free. Hess
READ: John 3:14-21
Salvation is a gift that anyone can open.
