The Message of Easter
John 3:16 NKJVFor God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
This well-known verse sums up the purpose of Easter. Humanity had sinned, and this sin seperated us from God. The gap could not be bridged by any of our attempts. We were without help, and without hope. Yet God loved us so much, that he brought a solution that none of us could fathom, His own Son to purchase us by praying the price for our redemption.
Because Jesus paid the price, we can now recieve eternal life, the opportunity to live forever with God. This is the great message of Easter, life eternal through faith in Jesus Christ.
