Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you – unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures
–1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Doesn’t it seem that bad news is all around us? It’s not only the top story on the news, the headline in the paper, or all over your feed…it seems to fill our day.
But as believers, we know the best news we could ever hear…and we celebrate it this week.
Easter is the day we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the grave. This is the event that conquered sin…that conquered death…and that made it possible for you and me to have a personal relationship with God!
Perhaps, today, this is the first time you’ve ever heard or understood this Good News.
If so, I want to tell you something: Jesus died on the cross for you. He wore a crown of thorns and was nailed to a tree because He loves you. And He wants to have a personal relationship with you today.
If you haven’t already, I pray you will you accept Jesus as your Savior today. And if you have placed your faith in Christ, I challenge you to share that Good News with someone this week.
I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Easter this week!
THIS EASTER, SHARE THE GOOD NEWS WITH SOMEONE WHO NEEDS TO HEAR IT!
