Reflections After Easter
Reflections After Easter – Honoring Christ Every Day
This past Sunday, Christians all over the world celebrated the glorious resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
This wonderful celebration has come and gone, but is Easter really over?
Not in the least!
We have good news to share with the world!
As Christians, we know on a personal level the incredible love that God has for us.
We can’t earn His grace for that would be impossible.
We don’t deserve His love, and yet God wants us to be with Him forever in heaven.
As wretched and deserving of judgment as we are, God made a way and that is through the sacrificial atonement for our sins through His Son, Jesus.
Don’t miss your chance to share His message of hope and salvation to a world in despair.
Jesus told the disciples to “Go.”
Now, many generations later, it’s up to you and me to spread the gospel to the world.
Reflections After Easter – A Poem About The Lamb Of God
The following poem by M.S. Lowndes is a beautiful reminder of the blessed assurance that we have by God’s grace, and through Jesus Christ, His Son.
Tell the world!
THE LAMB OF GOD
Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God,
Who takes away our sin,
He came the sinless Son of God
To cleanse our hearts within
He hung upon the blood-stained cross
Thinking of you and me,
Dying like some hardened criminal,
His body in agony
His blood flowed down from the cross;
His body tormented with pain
He cried out to His Heavenly Father,
But it seemed no answer came
People stood and jeered at Him,
Mocking to the end
Who Jesus was and why He came,
They couldn’t comprehend
Their hearts were indifferent to the Lord;
Their consciences grew ever cold
His mother watched on – unable to bear it
As the sword pierced through her soul
As you try to grasp this picture,
The pain that Christ went through,
Remember that day you were on His mind,
He endured it all for you
Just so you could know His love
And forgiveness for your sins,
To know His resurrection power
And to have His life within
He cares that much about your life,
He endured the cross for you
Like those who jeered, or those who loved,
With Jesus – what will you do?
