He is alive! He has risen! Jesus, Son of God, willingly laid down his life to pay the penalty of sin and take our shame. He bore the full weight of it so that through faith in Him and His sacrifice on our behalf, we might be forgiven, healed, made whole, redeemed, adopted, made new and declared right in God’s sight. Jesus’ death on the cross was completely sufficient, lacking nothing and accomplished once and for all what none of us could do for ourselves.
Apart from union with Christ, we are hopeless and to be pitied. Yet…we are not without hope, because of what Christ did on our behalf.
The ultimate proof of all this being available is the empty tomb. Christ conquered death and the grave.
“O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 1 Corinthians 15:55
The sting of death is gone for those who, by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone turn to the Lord.
Happy Easter! He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
