John 3:16

These are just some thoughts that I wrote 

earlier this month:

Jesus, in all His power, could have saved Himself from dying on the cross. He was more than able to. But He chose to keep the will of the Father and give His life. He died for me so that I could have life and experience true freedom. 

He knew who He was. He knew His purpose and mission. He was sure of His identity. 

He loved me that much that He gave His life for me. Even when people told Him to prove that He was the Son of God, He didn't have to because He knew who He was. His mission was not to prove, His mission was to save. 

Before His death, He had previously done great signs, wonders, and miracles anyhow and people still chose not to believe. 

I am thankful that Christ died for me and that I can celebrate a risen Saviour this Easter Sunday and every day. 

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:16, 17 NIV

"But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.” Matthew 26:32 NIV

"He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” Luke 24:6, 7 NIV
