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”
Isaiah 53:5
On this Easter day remember what Jesus did for you. Take time to say thank you. It’s not about cute outfits and easter bunnies. It’s about Jesus raising from the dead.HE GOT UP.Death could not hold Him down! Jesus died so that we do not have to live in sin, that our sins could be forgiven, our bodies could be healed and so that we can have life more abundantly.
BECAUSE HE LIVES I CAN FACE TOMORROW.
In Luke 7:11-17, there’s a powerful story about a widow who had lost all hope after her son died. Not only did she lose her son, but she was also on the brink of losing her home and money because of customs at the time. But Jesus changed everything for her. He literally brought her back to life as she knew it.
We were spiritually dead because of our sins, but through Jesus, we can be given new life.
The Bible says that Jesus knows our pain and suffering, he has first hand experience of grief, injustice, humiliation, suffering and loss. Jesus has not avoided any of these hard areas of life. He has gone through them himself. He has asked the hard questions. He has personal experience of how tough it can be.
If you’re feeling down today, we have an encouraging message for you. The Bible tells us that Jesus took on our sins, rejection, sorrows, sickness, and even experienced betrayal. He came to Earth to share in our pain, sickness, and sin. Then, He defeated death and the consequences of sin so that we could experience His healing power and the unconditional love of God. If you’re feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, heartbroken, or hopeless today, turn to the One who overcame it all. He promises in His Word that He’ll never leave you or forsake you. He’s “close to the brokenhearted and rescues those whose spirits are crushed” (Psalm 34:18). God bless you abundantly.
