How God Will Be Known

John 3
hmmmmmm
I am not sure what to do with John chapter 3 (or pretty much anything in this Gospel), but as I consider it, I think of this line by Douglas John Hall in The Cross in Our Context (a great read in the theology of the cross, "the thin tradition.") 

Faith, if it is faith in the God reveled in "Jesus Christ and him crucified," is a journey toward the world; if it is said that such a definition confuses God with God's creation, confuses theocentrism with geocentrism, one must answer, as a Christian, that that confusion seems to have been introduced by God himself, who will be loved only as one who loves the world (John 3:16)." pg 55
