In the book of Isaiah (53:5) we read:
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
The sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross of Calvary is evidence of the loving-kindness of our gracious God – indeed, by his wounds we are healed. What is your (and my) personal and passionate response to this unmerited favour of God, this Easter?
Enjoy teaching and reminding your children of the essence of Easter – the GOOD NEWS (1 Corinthians 15 3-34) - in the coming weeks.
The Lord bless you,
