We are approaching what’s become known as Passion Week—the week beginning with Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, ending with an empty tomb as revelation of Jesus being the long awaited Promised Redeemer—the Promised Deliverer from God. We celebrate our Risen Lord on Easter Sunday. However, I suggest, we should radially celebrate our Lord every day, all year, every year.
From the rejection of God in the Garden of Eden when God first promised humanity a way of escape, God’s plan was fully developed. He knew what He would personally do to redeem His beloved humanity, each one made in His image for the purpose of enjoying relationship with Him. God’s love for us is so great that He couldn’t bear being eternally separated from any one of us, so He devised a plan. Then at the perfect time in all God’s planned timeline for earth, Jesus, the Second Person of the Trinity, took on human form and joined humanity as a baby. He grew up in stature and understanding among us, experiencing the human existence in every way common to man. He’d willingly and temporarily laid down His divinity, to live life entirely in His humanity. And as such, through His unwavering reliance on the Heavenly Father, He lived a perfectly sinless life. Making Him the only suitable sacrifice to pay the penalty of sin, which is rejection of God, that we owe but cannot pay. Motivated by unfathomable love, Jesus paid the ultimate price for each one of us who are willing to believe in Him and receive Him as our personal Lord and Savior.
What does your life reveal regarding what you believe about Jesus?
In your heart of hearts, what do you know about yourself in the light of Jesus?
In the inner privacy of your being, what is God the Father speaking to you right now?
You may want to take time to contemplate more about your life before God and His radical love for you. If so, I encourage you to read the Advent of Easter posts I published beginning March 6th, 2019, here on this Faith Blog. You’ll find a post every other day leading up to Easter, created to help us genuinely consider our reality—our present day and eternal reality.
My life’s focus is to help people discover and live in the same life-giving Truth I’ve been blessed to find. It is my prayer for you that you realize the truth and willing surrender your whole self to Jesus, to be entirely transformed as a joint heir with Jesus, entitled to everything He died to offer you, Amen.
