For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John 3:16-17
I am so thankful God so loved the world that He sent His only son Jesus to die for the world. This means whoever you are and wherever you are on the globe, Christ died for you. He died once for all.
This Easter Sunday let us reaffirm in our heart that Christ died for all. Its time to move away from focusing our attention on the outward adornment, or which church has the best choir and which church is more prestigeous. Instead let our focus be the cross and the price Christ paid for you and me, to reconcile us back to the Father. As I write this, I want to cry, because we, who say we know Him, take lightly that Christ died for the world. We tend to want to keep our head in the sand and say my four and no more and that the world is too far. I have news for you, the world has come to dwell among us. They may not look like you and speak a different language. Their customs and faith may be different, but it does not change the fact that Christ died for all. Someone who did not look like me told me about Jesus and it changed my life. The message of the cross is powerful and it is not subject to boundaries, customs, race or nationality. The message of the cross is life changing and we who have experienced this change must not be afraid to share it with the world. We are Christ ambassadors to the nations around us and far from us. If you can't go, pray. Stand in the gap by your prayers. The fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much, (James 5:16). Lets get back to being people who believe the word of God, speak the word of God and live by the word of God. Let this Easter Sunday awaken in us that God so loved the world and whosoever believes in Him and lives for Him become His children.
Christ death on the cross and His resurrection from the grave purchased our salvation
and so much more. We received healing for our body when His body was beaten and bruised, (Isaiah 53:5). We have access to the throne of grace and can come boldly to our heavenly Father, (Hebrews 4:14 – 16). We received the spirit of adoption making us joint-heirs with Christ, (Romans 8:15-17) and are saved from God’s wrath (Romans 5:9). He paid it all for us, the world.

Whether you attend church or fellowship at home, celebrate our risen savior with praise and thanksgiving. Our God, who is a Good Good Father and perfect in all of His ways, is worthy of all praise, all honor, and all glory.
