Devot. On a Hill Far Away

Dear Friends, 

 I hope you had a blessed week!

I  was thinking earlier this week of how several godly preachers in my life have said that "The resurrection is the 'hinge point' of Christianity."
It is the foundation upon which our faith in Jesus rests.  Scripture says that without Christ's resurrection our faith would be 'in vain', without hope, and we would have no hope of our sins being forgiven, our sin debt being paid (1 Corinthians 15:14, 17, 19).  But because we serve a risen, alive Saviour, '"I (we) can face tomorrow"." 

 

Christ's death paid our sin debt, our ticket to Heaven in full, and His resurrection proved that He was God and that what He did on the cross, paid our sin debt IN FULL (It is finished"- John 14:30).  

 Unlike some religions that sadly have a dead leader or 'saviour' who never died for them, we have a LIVING SAVIOUR who sacrificially showed His love for us by His death and resurrection.

 

If you have a chance to go to a 'passion play' (dramatization of Christ's death/resurrection), go go and take all the kids and grandkids.  This is a great way to instill the true meaning of Easter in their young lives early.   From my childhood years to my late teens years we always found a passion play to go to.  It helped all of us to have the  reality check of the True Meaning of this week and be even more thankful for what our Saviour did for us.   What Jesus did for you will become even clearer when you see the crucifixion for yourself. 

 

I will include a link for a live streamed passion play called The Living Cross.  It started this past Sunday.  Folks from all over, even other states, have been to it.  I can tell you from experience that it is good musically, and production wise: http://new.livestream.com/opendoorchurchlive/services  (scroll down just a bit and you will see the last two presentations-3/29, 3/31).

 

Lastly, I will include a song link that ties into the devot.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF6aBDS3drA Lord bless you and your families in a special way this Resurrection Sunday!  He Lives! Devot below
