That Word "So"

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

"God has such love in his nature that he must needs let it flow forth to a world perishing by its own wilful sin; and when it flowed forth it was so deep, so wide, so strong, that even inspiration could not compute its measure, and therefore the Holy Spirit gave us that great little word SO, and left us to attempt the measurement, according as we perceive more and more of love divine.

*The Father gave His other self,
*one with Himself.
When the great God gave His Son He gave God Himself, for Jesus is not in his eternal nature less than God.
When God gave God for us He gave Himself.
What more could He give?
God gave His all:
He gave himself.
Who can measure this love?"
Charles Spurgeon
