Amazing Love

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.

John 3:16

Jesus died on Friday.

Death died on Sunday.

The greatest thing ever found on Easter

wasn’t a basket or some eggs.

It was an empty tomb!

He is risen!

Easter is not about the bunny.  It’s about the LAMB.

Christ didn’t stay dead

and he won’t stay gone.

When Jesus Cried Out “It is Finished”…

         righteousness was perfected,

         divine justice was satisfied,

         blood was shed,

         redemption was paid,

         sins were forgiven,

         reconciliation was achieved,

         death was conquered and

         salvation was secured.

Living he loved me.

Dying he saved me.

Rising he redeemed me.

“I hate the term, ‘Good Friday’”

“Why?”

“My Lord was hanged on a tree that day.”

“If you were going to be hanged on that day, and he volunteered to take your place, how would you feel?”

“Good.”

“Have a nice day.”

Earth’s saddest day and happiest day …

were just three days apart.

 “Jesus forgave a thief dangling on a cross, knowing full well the thief had converted out of plain fear.  That thief would never study the Bible, never attend synagogue or church, and never make amends to those he had wronged.  He simply said, ‘Jesus remember me,’ and Jesus promised, ‘Today you will be with me in Paradise.’  It was another shocking reminder that grace does not depend on what we have done for God but rather what God has done for us.”

~ Philip Yancey

For great is your love, higher than the heavens;

     your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

Psalm 108:4

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

2 Corinthians 5:21

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

1 John 3:1

I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

1 John 5:13

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

1 Peter 2:24

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 2:4-10

With my mouth I will greatly extol the LORD;

     In the great throng of worshipers I will praise him.

Psalm 109:30

With my mouth I will greatly extol the LORD;

     in the great throng of worshipers I will praise him.

Hebrews 13:8
