Jesus has finished His work so you can have a new beginning!

“It is finished.” John 19:30

These were the last words of Jesus. The pain and agony of the cross was over. He was obedient to his Father unto death and had completed his calling from God.

Jesus didn’t die for good people. He died for all regardless of the nature of their sin. Jesus died to be a martyr for sin. He was killed for His beliefs by the religious leaders of the day. They rejected Jesus for religion.

The death of Jesus put to death the sanctimonious character of religion. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. You cannot be redeemed by good works or keeping the laws of God. It is by faith in Jesus Christ. This is the only way you can be restored to God.

Jesus was a human just like you. He lived on the earth and experienced all the same feelings as you and me. The difference is He was perfect. He could see all your imperfections and knew the only way for you to be free from sin was by His blood.

The cross is an invitation to accept the gift of eternal life. When God raised Jesus from death to life, He provided the ability for you to share in His resurrected life. The cross brings forgiveness for sin and gives you access to all the attributes of Jesus.

The cross allows for you to experience resurrected life every day. It is about living today with the life of Jesus dwelling inside you.

This Sunday is Easter! It is a celebration of new life made available by the obedience of Jesus to His Father. Easter is a time to praise God and thank Him for this precious gift of eternal life!
