Don't take it lightly!

I need all of your attention! At this moment, remove every distraction and use two minutes to read these important words.....

 

Romans 5:8 TPT

💥 But Christ proved God’s passionate love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly!

Isaiah 53:5 KJV

💥 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed


 

What Jesus did for you and I was a serious task! Sometimes we take the Easter celebration as an annual ritual that must be celebrated. But NO! That is not the case. In this season

\we commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ

\we remember the ultimate sacrifice of the righteous lamb

\we recall the day the fate of humanity changed

\we remind ourselves of the reckless, selfless love of God, that while we were still sinners, Christ still died for us

\we call to mind the fact that Christ drank the cup of God’s wrath for our sake

 

Christ died aware of the fact that not everyone would give their lives to Him. Christ died knowing that people would ridicule Him and take His sacrifice lightly. Christ died knowing all these but He still endured. He did this because He knew it was the Father’s will. He understood the depth to which God, the Father, loved His creation ( John 3:16).


Paraphrased John 3:16


For God so loved the world ( people drowning in sin and blindly following the foot steps of the devil), that He sent His one and only son ( His precious child) that whoever ( regardless of race, past offences, past beliefs) believes in Him ( understands the power behind His sacrifice and accepts Him as Lord and personal saviour) shall not perish ( be consumed by the eternal fire and be eternally separated from God) but have everlasting life ( eternal communion with God).

Let’s celebrate this season understanding the ultimate sacrifice. A man died in your place so that you may have life! Don’t take this lightly! Jesus drank the cup of God’s wrath so that you may not suffer! Celebrating Easter reminds me of the reason I gave my all to Jesus! He went above and beyond for me! Give your all to Jesus because He died that you may have eternal life and freedom!( say prayer on ⬆️this page, if you desire to give your life to Christ)


Also, remember death has been defeated! Our King conquered death!

Revelation 1:18 “ I am He that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen, and have the keys of hell and of death.”
