For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 1 Corinthians 15: 3-5
We are now in the midst of the holiest three days in all of human history. Our faith rests on what we believe and celebrate this weekend.
When all is said and done, there is no part of religion that is more important than the facts and meaning of Christ’s death. The Cross must be firmly anchored at the very core of our faith which empowers our teaching, evangelizing and preaching.
It is not without significance that the Cross has become the universal symbol of Christianity. To gaze upon its significance is to see what God can do in your life.
The Cross is at the core of our faith. Have you deeply contemplated the wondrous cross?
I don’t think you can consider yourself a real Christian until you have experienced the power of the cross and understood its meaning and message to you. You cannot be a disciple unless the Cross stands at the center of who you are and what you believe.
Celebrate the glory of Christ... tomorrow on Easter Sunday! Celebrate His redeeming work embodied in the Cross and His victorious Resurrection that opens the pathway for your Salvation.
Reaffirm. Recommit. Realign your life to live in harmony with Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior. May Christ be central in all you think and do.
