The most amazing story
If God loves us, why was it necessary for Jesus to die so horribly on the cross? If Easter is a celebration of life and God’s love towards us, why is it associated with such a terrible moment in history? Words like “sin” and “forgiveness” and “grace” are often heard around Easter, but what do they really mean for our everyday lives? Surely a loving God would not want to punish anyone for their mistakes, right?
If you feel like you’ve never quite understood the Easter story, take a look at an essay explaining all about God, love, sin, and forgiveness over at Acts International–it’s a great overview of what the Bible teaches us about these important topics. And if you’ve got all that info memorized already, the article makes a good link to send to a friend who’s struggling to understand what Easter means for them.
