What do I see when I read these verses? That those 8 million viewers are searching for a purpose perhaps. Is there something they are missing? Should they trust in the God that so many people talk about? Does God love them?
Of course the most popular verse since the existence of Jesus, John 3:16 would be number one. I think it’s come to the point that everyone, even non believers knows that verse. Let’s change that. People don’t necessarily need to hear anymore that God loves them. They need to see that He loves them. We, as Christians need to show them through our actions how much the God that created the heavens and the earth loves them.
Maybe we should show them there is hope for the weary and burdened. Let’s show them we are not judges, but brothers and sisters in Christ. Remember though, we have to pull the plank out of our eyes to do so. Let us not make our brothers stumble. Let’s remind them that shame isn’t something they have to hold onto. I could keep going, but you get the point.

As a Christian, what are you doing to show the incredible, never ending love of the God who created us?
