Easter
Jesus went to Jerusalem to die for us.
He didn’t have to save us.
He knew that his death would be
agonisingly painful.
He died in our place.
We did nothing.
We are weak and helpless.
He came in strength, mercy and love.
He came to save us from the curse of
sin.
On the cross his body was broken and
his blood was shed to make us whole.
Consider him.
A madman? A liar? A saviour?
Jesus is my saviour.
Jesus the Messiah has saved us from
condemnation.
We do not deserve his compassion.
We deserved death.
Jesus gave us life and hope.
God our Father loved us.
He watched his children reject him,
turn away and ignore him.
Again, and again, and again.
But… God still loves us.
God planned to bring us back to him.
God planned to send his son to repair
what sin has broken.
God sent his one and only son so that whoever believes in him will not
die,
But have eternal life.
Jesus’ blood, his death and his return
from death
Made us free from sin and clean before
God
He made us right with God.
Able to be in his presence.
To love him.
To serve him.
To honour him.
To be his children.
Will you come to rejoice in him?
I rejoice in him with my brothers and
sisters in Christ.
I have taken up my cross and I follow
him.
It’s not always easy, but it’s always
worth it.
This is the greatest story ever told.
This is the story of how God loved
man.
This is the story of Easter.
