The greatest love story the world has ever known

The story of how Jesus Christ, God and creator of the universe suffered and died for sinners.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not die but have eternal life.

John 3:16

Could there be any greater love than this?

Every time we sin, we add to the burden and weight of the Cross He carried up to Calvary. Every time we lose ourselves and turn away from Him, we inflict more pain on Him. Every time we give in to temptation, we nail Him to the cross once again.

And when He gave up His spirit, He opened up the gates of heaven so that we may one day join Him in His kingdom. His precious blood washed away our sins.

BUT, the story has a happy ending. Because on this day, 2000 years ago, He rose from the dead just as He said He would. The joy we feel at this time, I think, is actually greater than the joy of Christmas.

Happy Easter everyone. :) ♥
