I have often been frustrated at the Church for teaching John 3: 16 without an equal attention to the verses which follow.  The entire world wants to hear that God loves them.  Yeah, ain’t that the truth!  But they don’t want to approach Him. 

To teach the one without the other can be summed up as follows. 

A four legged table with but two legs does not entertain with a stable character.  And those who sat to eat walk away hungry.
