Grace
Normally I would have posted some kind of cute clip or brief post wishing everyone a great Easter, along with a small reminder of the true meaning of this holiday. But this year, our family was so busy enjoying ourselves, I completely forgot to post anything!
The great thing is that even though Good Friday has passed, Easter has come and gone, the egg hunts are over, baskets of candy are opened and candy is disappearing quickly...
The message of Easter is so good, so true, and so powerful, being a day late doesn't matter!!
What a wonderful gift of grace, Jesus gave us, when he willingly took all our sins - past, present, and future on himself. He took the weight of this world on his shoulders and carried them all to the cross. No burden we carry too heavy, no mistakes we make too bad...Jesus' sacrifice on the cross paid for it all once and for all.
Sunday, Pastor Nathan said this..."Mercy and grace are very different things...Mercy is when we don't receive something we deserve, like when you punch your brother in the face and he doesn't punch you back. Grace is when you receive something you don't deserve, like when you punch your brother in the face, and not only does he not punch you back, but he gives you a million bucks."
That, my friend, is grace, and that is exactly what Christ had given to all of us. Grace!!
Here is a song that tells so well, what Jesus did for you and me!!
