He Has Risen!

Easter has to be my favorite holiday. It’s the fulfillment of many prophesies in the bible. Jesus fulfilled them by coming to earth and being God in the flesh for us. He taught us what God the Father is like. He also taught us about the Holy Spirit, also known as the Comforter. He showed us the way to have a relationship with God the Father.

The fact that Jesus was willing to be sacrificed and have His blood shed for us. That was what it took to satisfy God. God’s law in the Old Testament said there was no forgiveness without blood being shed. All of humanity’s sin was placed on Jesus; past, present, and future. God punished Jesus for all people’s sins of all time and when that happened the Father withdrew His presence from Jesus temporarily. Jesus did this willingly, and He knew what was going to happen to him before it happened.

This post is after Easter, but the message is the same. Jesus loves you enough to die for you because God the Father wants to have a relationship with you. He wants you to be in heaven with you What an awesome love!
