The Greatest Love of All

Let me introduce you to a guy I have known my whole life. He's the greatest guy ever and what made Him ever greater is that He died for love. The only adjective i strongly can describe about Him is His love for people like me. I confess that I'm a sinner. A sinner that does not deserve to even know anyone that Holy. But though I'm a sinner, He still loves me and guess what? No great lover could die for you, but amazingly He did even before I got to know Him.

His Name is Jesus Christ.

The Son of God born sinless and pure, yet He was tortured to death, bearing mockery, insult and betrayal. He died the worst way anyone could die. A sinless man put between unholy ones.

Could this be real? If you believe. That's why I love Him.

And that event more than 2000 years ago made this day much more important than Christmas. It marks the day of salvation and victory to those who believe.

Jesus was crucified on the cross so that we are cleansed from our sins. It was not His will but by the will of God to save us and give us eternal life.

Before His death
Jesus Prays for Himself, His Disciples and for all Believers. He was then arrested by Jewish officials. Questioned by the High Priest. Brought before Pilate. The crowd chose Barnabas the murderer to be released over Jesus. Jesus sentenced to be Crucified. The crucifixion.

The death of Jesus.
He said "It is finished", with that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

On the third day
The tomb of Jesus was found empty. He is risen!

And this is why Easter is celebrated. Its not about Easter eggs or bunnies. Those marketing gimmicks pushes us away from the real meaning of this faithful day. It about His miraculous Resurrection.

All this was not done spontaneously or was a joke. It was already written since before Jesus was born. That one day the son of God will die for the sins of his believers. A love so great that God send His son to die for us, so that we might not perish but have eternal life.



The greatest Gift for sinners like us. We are the reason why Jesus died on the cross.

All for LOVE.

Have a blessed Easter
