I was reading from John's Gospel this morning and came to this verse. I realized once again why I love this verse so much. Bob Wilkins from the Grace Evangelical Society wrote a nice article called "Whoever Means Whoever" explaining why this verse is so wonderful. Here's an excerpt from that article.
John 3:16 is special in its brevity, beauty, and breadth--all spoken by the Lord Jesus well before His death and resurrection and the birth of the church.
BREVITY: Just 25 words in the English text. If anyone ever asks you to share the gospel in 25 words or less, quote John 3:16.
BEAUTY: Look at the words. God. Love. The world. His only begotten Son. Whoever. Should not perish. Has everlasting life. All of the themes of a great novel are present: a Lover and His beloved, a self-sacrificing death, deliverance from a terrible fate, and living happily ever after" (i.e., living joyfully forever). Whenever I read this verse or hear it read I warm up inside. This is such a beautiful verse.
