Our Savior Lives
It’s hard to imagine the depth of God’s love for us. To think that He loved us So much that He sent His ONLY Son, Jesus, to come to this earth, to die on a cross, so that we might have eternal life with Him! THAT kind of love is unfathomable! And Jesus led a life without sin. His every thought, deed, and action was all because of His deep and abiding love for mankind. He gave, and gave and gave - never asking for anything in return. He healed the sick, comforted the brokenhearted, and gave hope to the hopeless. He was gentle and kind to everyone, including those who lied about Him, mistreated Him, and betrayed Him. His heartfelt desire was that NO ONE should perish, but that all would live in heaven with Him forever! Jesus certainly did not deserve to be treated as a common criminal who was beaten unmercifully, ridiculed through the streets, and mocked even as He hung on the cross. Jesus could have changed His mind at any point, but He chose us! He chose to die so that we could live! He loved us THAT much! When they laid Him in the tomb, His enemies thought they had won! But praise God, Jesus arose victorious from the tomb! Not even death could keep Him in the ground! Our Savior LIVES - and because He lives - we have a future in heaven with Him forever!
