RESURRECTION EVE

It is Resurrection Eve.

All that Jesus did -- His birth as a baby in human form -- His sinless perfect life -- His selfless death on the cross -- His rising from the dead -- He did for YOU. For all the wrongs you've done, said or thought.

For you.
For me.

Was it fair? No.
Was it right? No.
Was it love? Yes.

Think for a moment about the worst thing you've ever done. You have SOMETHING -- I do too. It would cause you the most intense pain and humiliation if it were flashed on a screen for everyone to see.

Now ... imagine having the weight of THAT sin ... and the shame and weight of EVERY SIN EVER COMMITTED BY EVERY HUMAN BEING WHO EVER LIVED --- every act of abuse -- every crime -- every jealous and hateful act -- every proud and hurtful moment -- from the beginning of time right down to today and even into the future -- every betrayal, every deception, every greedy act -- every mean word -- every dishonest lie. Imagine feeling the pain of ALL THAT directed at YOU.

And the Bible says Jesus took all of that on Himself -- for you. And THAT is why, today, you can ...

Be blessed.
