Forever21's "Gospel in a nutshell"

John 3:16
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.

I've alway enjoyed shopping at Forever21. There floors sparkle and shine. There cloths are cute, and there jewelry is fun and modern. Everytime I go in I always come out with something fun in my bag! But this time it wasn't just whats was in my bag that put a smile on my face, but what was on it. When I went to take a few photos of my finds. I saw for the first time what was printed on the bottom of there yellow bag. John 3:16.


This is what I found on wikipedia.

Forever 21 has received attention in the media for printing "John 3:16" on the bottom of their trademark yellow bags. A spokeswoman from Forever 21's LA headquarters said the Biblical quote is a "demonstration of the owners' Christian faith." (A similar practice has been maintained by the In-N-Out Burger and Chick-Fil-A chains, which prints the quote "John 3:16" on the bottom of some of its cups.)

It's really neat to me, to see company's do something like this. No matter how small it's still a statement of truth.
