E is for Eternity, in celebration of God's gift of salvation to us through Jesus Christ. In John 17:3, the bible says of God's gift to us, 'Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.' - John. 17:3, NIV - This is why Easter is so significant and why we celebrate it. It's a reminder of God's love, mercy and penultimate sacrifice for us, so that we can gain eternal life. In Romans 3:23, the Bible says, 'For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' - Romans 3:23, NIV - Everyone of us have sinned and the Bible says in Romans 6:23 that, 'The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.' Romans 6:23 — New International Version (NIV) As we celebrate Easter sharing meals, food and gifts with loved ones, let's not forget to break bread in remembrance of Jesus who, Took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” -Luke 22:19 — New International Version (NIV) Jesus commanded us to commemorate his death and there is no better time than Easter to remember his crucifixion. That is, the point at which he gave his life for us so that we can live on eternally with God the Father. Happy Easter to those who have found Christ, to those who are seeking to know him and to those who are yet to gain salvation. This is the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ: "He died for our sins so that we don't have to die in sin, but to live to give God the glory." Stay blessed and keep on going!

Ever suffered a wound that was painful? How did you feel? Now imagine someone suffering that wound on your behalf. How would you feel about their suffering? Because that is exactly what Jesus did for us. The Bible says in Isaiah 53:5 that, ' He was wounded for our rebellious acts. He was crushed for our sins. He was punished so that we could have peace and we received healing from his wounds.' Isaiah 53:5 — God's Word Translation (GW) When man rebelled against God and sinned, God sent Jesus to correct the consequences of our sins. He did this out of the love he has for us. See Genesis 3:1-7 for more on man’s sins. It's why Jesus came to earth to die for our sins and it's why the Bible says in John 3:16 that, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life." John 3:16 — New Revised Standard Version: Updated Edition (NRSVue) God's offer is still available and his door will always be open as long as you have breath. All you need to do is to walk through it. How? By accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. As we celebrate Easter this year, let's remember what Jesus did and take full advantage of the opportunity he has given us to achieve eternal life with God. Happy Easter! Stay blessed and keep on going. |
