Thankful…Grateful…Blessed!
I am thankful that the story didn’t end with Jesus on the cross. I am grateful that Jesus accepted the bitter cup of agony for me. I am blessed that my God loves me so much that, Jesus, accepted the punishment for my sins. Have you ever looked at Easter in this way? That the Lord Jesus did this for you, too?!
(NIV) John 3:16 “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.”
Resurrected Messiah
The followers of Christ place their faith in the living Lord Jesus Christ.
It was God who raised Him from the dead. It was God who gave Him glory.
(NASB) 1 Peter 1:21
Our God resurrected Christ from the dead. He conquered sin and conquered death so that we may live with Him for eternity.
We can enjoy our relationship with Him right now.
It doesn’t have to wait until eternity.
In fact, it cannot wait until eternity.
Now is the time to understand what Jesus did, for you.
Now is the time to understand what sin does, to you.
Sin separates us from God.
Sin separates us from others.
Sin is ugly.
But…sin can be forgiven.
Your sin will be forgiven by God when you confess to Him your failings, your sinful actions, and your desire to have a relationship with Him, the Living God.
(NIV) I John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

Experience the blessings…today and for eternity.
Our Christ is Risen! Hallelujah!
