Thank God for Easter. GOD the Father sent GOD the Son to die for us. Thank GOD for the sacrifice He made on the cross of Calvary and the total package of redemption that came from it. The Father spared not his Son because of you and I. Our Lord Jesus Christ shed his blood and died for us. He presented himself as a whole sacrifice. Not one of his bones was broken (John 19:33). He gave himself as an atonement for our sins (Ephesians 1:7). He became sin that we may become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21). He became a curse on the cross so that we may be blessed (Galatians 3:13). He became weak so that we may be strong and powerful. He was beaten and was in pain, so that we may be healed and be healthy (Isaiah 53:5). He was troubled, so we may have peace. He was full of sorrow, so that we may be full of joy and the Holy Spirit. He became poor, so that we may become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9). And He died so that we may have eternal life (John 3:16). He paid the full price for our peace (Isaiah 53:5, Colossians 1:19-20). The kind of peace that guarantees the wholeness of your body, soul, and spirit. With Nothing missing and nothing broken. The hebrew word for peace is Shalom and it connotes completion, and wholeness, with nothing missing and nothing broken.

GOD the Son became Son of man for only one reason. To die for mankind and restore man back to God (Colossians 1:19-20; Ephesians 2:13). He died so that through his death, uncountable sons and daughters of man can become children of God. His death opened the door for us to access God and access all the divine provisions God has for us (Hebrews 10:19; Romans 8:32). The blood He shed through his death has liberated those who were bound and still does liberate those who are bound (Zechariah 9:11). He died to destroy the works of the devil and collect the keys of hell and death from him and He succeeded (1 John 3:8, Revelations 1:18). Glory! Halleluyah!!
Through the finished work of Christ, we can fellowship with the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit and enjoy divine communion with them. If Jesus didn’t die, we the saints of God wouldn’t be as powerful as we are today because we would still be limited by sin. Jesus died and broke the barrier created by sin once and for all, to the glory of GOD.
I pray for you today. May you enjoy the fullness of the blessings of Easter in this season and always. Because of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, you are free, you are victorious, forever progressing, full of peace, completely whole, with nothing missing and nothing broken in Jesus' name (Amen!). Have a lovely Easter celebration.
