Seven expressions that Jesus used on the cross

May you have a blessed Easter time this year!

This weekend we are thinking about the price the Lord Jesus paid to give us eternal life.

We think about the 7 words he used on the cross. Three of them before the three hours of darkness, the 4^th one when it was dark and the last three after the darkness. The first three expressed Jesus' love for us;

1. “Father, forgive them because they do not know what they are doing”Luke 23:34

2. “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43

3. “here is your son… Here is your mother.” John 19:26-27

4. “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” Matt. 27:46

5. “I am thirsty” - John 19:28 

6. “It is finished”- John 19:30

7. “Father into your hands I commit my spirit.” Luke 23:46

Seven is the perfect number! May our Father in Heaven's perfect plan be fulfilled in your life. May you experience this Easter time anew what Jesus Christ came to do for you and give yourself anew to Him!

The Good news of Easter

“Good news Jesus was born

Good news He died on the cross

Good news He rose again

Good news He's coming back soon” Song by Sarah Moore

Easter is a time of GOOD NEWS: With Easter we celebrate the good news that Jesus was born, that Jesus died on the cross, that He rose again and that He is coming back soon.

Martin Luther said: “Live as if Jesus died yesterday, rose this morning, and is coming back tomorrow”!

My prayer is that God's children will experience the GOOD NEWS of the Gospel every day, that this Easter will be a wonderful Christ Festival to us all and that we will be GOOD NEWS to other people!

We hear so much bad news, that everyone longs for GOOD NEWS!!

Easter greeting: “The Lord has risen! He has risen indeed!!”

Charles Spurgeon said: “We Christians do not believe that Jesus Christ was the only one that ever rose from the dead. We believe that every death-bed is a resurrection; that from every grave the stone is rolled away.”

Child Evangelism Fellowship has a Good News Song:

“Good news, good news Christ died for me

Good news, good news if I believe

Good news, good news I'm saved eternally

That's wonderful EXTRA good news.”

Make sure that you believe in Jesus Christ as your Saviour. How?

A. Admit that you are a sinner and that you need a Saviour. - Rom. 3:23

B. Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you. Joh. 3:16

C. Commit yourself to the Lord and ask Him to forgive your sins and make you His child. - Joh. 1:12
