About 2,000 years ago a man was born, not just a man, but the Son of God. He came from heaven to give Himself up for us, for our sin, that we might be cleansed and redeemed.
Although Jesus’ mission was a glorious one, He had to endure much difficulty and suffering to accomplish it.
Jesus even said, “Father if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” Luke 22:42
Jesus was mocked, beaten, and crucified. Jesus died, and His body was laid in the grave.
Perhaps it looked like sin had defeated him.
However, three days later, He rose from the dead!
And now we find an empty tomb, a tomb that provides every person with tremendous hope.
No matter what situation you find yourself in today, there is hope.
No matter what your struggles are, there is hope.
No matter what has defined you, there is hope.
God’s desire is to give us hope.
That is the gospel message.
God has provided a way out of sin, and He doesn’t leave us nor forsake us.
God desires for us to live abundant and victorious lives.
God didn’t just save us, He has a plan for our lives – to live pure, peaceable, godly, wise, fulfilling, amazing lives here on this earth.
Do you need hope today? Look to the empty tomb.
He is risen!
