“Jesus was delivered up for our transgressions and raised for our justification.” That is a sentence worth reading again and again. The sin that I have committed caused Jesus Christ to be delivered to the horrible death of crucifixion. We also see in this sentence that when Christ was raised from the dead it was so that we would have right standing before God. This is an amazing sentence. It is a life changing truth. Paul wrote these words in Romans 4:25. Some might see this as two truths in one sentence, but the fact is this two part sentence is presenting the fundamental truth of our faith. Jesus lived a perfect and sinless life, obediently gave up his life on the cross to pay for the sin of all who believe in him, and was raised so that believers have eternal life with him! This is the Gospel. This is truly Good News! Jesus did what we could not do, he died a death we should have died, so that we could have Him for eternity. Join us as we celebrate both Good Friday and Resurrection Day at Grace Fellowship. Our service on Friday begins @ 6:30 PM. We will reflect over the significance of the cross in our time together. Sunday morning we will gather at 10:15 AM to celebrate the resurrection. I hope to see all of you this weekend!
Before I go I want to thank all those who served in our Big Serve Weekend with Ignite! Calhoun County. We were able to serve the community and plant some seeds of the Gospel in the process. I hope you will all plan to serve with us again!
Talk Again Soon,
Carlton
