Denzel Valentine prepares to shoot the game winner

Valentine’s Day 2015 found the Ohio State Buckeyes visiting the Michigan State Spartans for a Big Ten showdown in men’s basketball. The game had a thrilling finish. With the game tied and the game clock winding down, the Spartans had the ball for a last shot. One of their players found himself open for a 3-point shot. He took aim, fired and hit the game winning basket. The player’s name? Denzel Valentine! How appropriate!

When we take time to celebrate love today, how appropriate it is that we consider the greatest love of all—the love that sent Jesus Christ to the cross to die for our sins!

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”—John 3:16.
