The Greatest Gift

 

And we know and believe the love which God has in us.  God is love, and he who is remaining in love is remaining in God, and God is remaining in him. 

1 John 4: 16, Concordant New Testament 

Who is Jesus to you?  Is He a get out of jail free card graciously given to you by the Father?  Or, is He an intimate part of the life you live each and every day?  This is the question I will be asking this Easter celebration weekend.  Jesus is much more than the symbolism of the cross which we have come to associate with Him.  When Jesus prayed in the garden that night that we would be one with He and the Father, He was giving us notice that He was not going away.  Death could not hold Him, and today it is Christ Jesus who lives in us.  The cross was not the finish line, it was the starting line.  I look forward to sharing with you this weekend what Jesus means to me. 

For thus God loves the world, so that He gives His only-begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him should not be perishing, but may be having life eonian.
