“Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.” Hebrews 12:2
Hi !
It’s insulting to suggest that all religions lead to God. If that were true, then why would He have allowed His Son to go through the suffering of the cross?
Jesus knew that there was no other way for our sin to be dealt with. There was no other way for us to experience fellowship with God, from whom we were separated by sin. So, Jesus had to taste death for everyone. He had to go to the cross and die for
the sins of the world.
The joy awaiting Him was you. The joy awaiting Him was me. It was the knowledge that we would come into communion
and fellowship with Him. He loved us so much that He went to the cross on our behalf.
I pray that you and your family will enjoy celebrating the Gift of the Resurrection, the triumph of life over
death, and life-transforming power of God’s love today on Good Friday and this Easter Sunday.
