The Bible tells us that because Jesus took the punishment for our sins, God promises, “I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Jeremiah 31:34
Why I Believe the Easter Story
I have been used for many years to study the histories of other times, and to examine and weigh the evidence of those who have written about them, and I know of no one fact in the history of mankind which is proved by better and fuller evidence of every sort, than the great sign which God has given us that Christ died and rose again from the dead.
—Thomas Arnold, English historian (1795-1842)
The Miracle of Easter
Are caterpillars told of their impending resurrection?—How in dying they will be transformed from poor earth-crawlers into creatures of the air, with exquisitely painted wings? If told, do they believe it? I imagine the wise old caterpillars shaking their heads—no, it can’t be; it’s a fantasy.”
The Easter Story
Jesus suffered the spiritual agony of the dying sinner–lost, without salvation, without God, dying for his sins. Only in Jesus’ case He was dying for our sins, the sins of the whole world. He was willing to go through all that so we could be forgiven and have eternal life. Such love!
Three days after His lifeless body was buried, something happened that shocked His enemies and proved to all of His followers that He really was the Son of God: He arose from the dead, the victor over death and Hell forever!
What Jesus said on the Cross
Everything that Jesus said on the cross was a different expression of His love. His Words spoken then still move people today.
