Living our lives built on sacrifice

Easter has now passed us by.  For the next couple of weeks you'll probably still find Easter grass, and if you mow the lawn you'll probably mow up some eggs that weren't found.  It's okay to put away all of the Easter decorations.

But it's really important that we don't put away what happened this season.

Jesus Christ died for you and me.  Everything we have ever done and will ever do has been paid for by His death.

This was the discussion we had in the High School "The Point".  We are not saved because Jesus was placed on a cross.  We are not saved because a crown of thorns was put on His head.  We are not saved because of what happened to Jesus' physical body.

We are saved because Jesus absorbed the wrath of God.  The punishment that we deserved.  Jesus took that punishment with Him to the cross.

This has to be what our lives are about.  Knowing this, should change how we live our lives.  We no longer live for ourselves.

Christ has died for your sins not so we can do what we want, but so that we can be freed from sin.

Find ways to remind yourself of what Christ has done for you!  Here is a video that will help!
