Easter

Jesus did not avoid the difficulties and problems of the world – rather He faced them directly. As the Son of God, Jesus came and dwelt among men, suffering for sinners. He was beaten, mocked, and ultimately killed – not for anything He had done, but instead to pay the price of sin for others (1 Peter 2:21-25). He was in the grave for three days, but death could not hold Him (Acts 2:24). The empty tomb is God’s declaration of Jesus’ victory over sin and death: “it is finished!”
