Have you ever thought about the real inspiration of Easter? Of course it is very true that Easter is the day that our Lord rose from the grave to once and for all pay the price for our sins. To be that perfect sacrifice. To offer us salvation and forgiveness. All of these things are true, but they are all the result of one thing. The one thing that inspired our Lord to do all this was His love for us. So it is true that Easter is all about forgiveness and new life, but ultimately it is all about LOVE.
How humbling is it to think about how much He loves us???
Look at all His Word has to say on the subject.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
John 3:16
"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends."
John 15:13
"By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us..."
1 John 3:16a
"In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins."
1 John 4:9-10
"...To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood"
Revelation 1:5b
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8
AMEN!
