"We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!"
(Matthew 20:18-19 (NIV))
In the next few days leading up to the crucifixion on what we now call Good Friday and to the resurrection on what we now refer to as Easter, we need to remember what happened in Jesus' life during these days!
He knew what was coming and He went into it willingly!
He laid down His life for us.
Even though He was, and is, the Son of God, He paid the ultimate price for us willingly. He could have avoided the cross, yet He went through the torture and agony because of His great love for us.
As Easter Sunday draws closer, remember the agonizing death that Jesus went through so that we could celebrate His resurrection and our salvation. It is so much more than a church service, a family dinner, and Easter eggs. It is the culmination of the promise of redemption paid for at the cross and redeemed with an empty tomb.
It is the reason that we have hope!
Have you accepted what Jesus did for you?
