Happy Easter 2017
Happy Easter 2017!
Are you ready for Easter?
We sure are!
It’s such a beautiful and blessed time of year.
We are celebrating life at our house, in more ways than one.
Spring flowers are blooming in our garden.
The weather is getting much better, and hopefully, no more hail stones for awhile. Our flowers took a pounding from the recent storm, but they’re coming back, more beautiful than ever.
Life in all its beauty, given to us by God alone.
An Easter Surprise
*NG just sent us her latest coloring project.
Isn’t she talented?
We love this little Easter blessing from one of our sponsor children.
He is Risen indeed!
Christ alone is our hope, and through Him, we can have salvation and eternal life. Praise the Lord!
Victory, Not Failure
The Cross was not a failure.
Please don’t let anyone steal your joy saying something heretical like that.
As Christians, we know by our faith that we have victory through the Cross, not defeat.
Did Christ rise from the dead?
Jesus told his disciples it would happen. See Matthew 20:18-19. Not believing these very words of our Savior is a marker that a person’s faith is on shaky ground.
The Key To Life Everlasting
We deserve nothing more than God’s wrath. Our penalty, rightfully, is death, but God loves us so much that He sent His Son to bear our punishment.
**Only God could know what it would take to make a sinner acceptable to Him so that that sinner could escape eternal hell and live in the very presence of God in His own house.
Only God could determine how the spiritual nature and the supreme authority and the unchangeable perfection of His law which is holy, just and good could be completely satisfied and the lawbreaker completely justified and rightly and purely forgiven and accepted, though fallen, guilty and depraved. – Pastor-teacher, John MacArthur, from Grace To You.
Forgiven And Accepted
Christ died for those He saves. As wretched sinners deserving only God’s punishment, we can fully embrace His love in our brokenness.
From our home to yours, wishing a joyous Easter to you and yours!
