All over the world, we are approaching the Easter Weekend. It is the time of year where Christians remember the death of Jesus Christ. Have you ever wondered, “What’s the big deal about this man named Jesus?”
Nations have gone to war over Jesus and people have lost their lives because of their faith in Him. Much can be said about who He is, where He came from and what He came to do. But for today, in light of Easter, I wanted to share just a few things about who Jesus is.
Jesus is Saviour
Ever wanted to be free from the guilt and shame you feel when you mess up? Jesus is the one who paid the price for our mistakes. When we put our trust in Him, we receive salvation from the penalty of our failings. The Bible says that the consequences for our sin is death, but the gift of God is a glorious life beyond this one for those who know Jesus.
Jesus is Healer
The Bible tells us that because of what Jesus suffered on the cross, divine healing can be ours. That means there is healing for cancer, pain and every type of sickness. God’s children can be miraculously healed and when we pray and believe in God’s power to heal.
Jesus is Redeemer
This might be one of the things I love most about Jesus. Not only did He pay the price for our sin but as Redeemer, He can turn our lives around. It doesn’t matter if you were the worst junkie, a prostitute, liar or murderer, Jesus is able to turn your life into something beautiful. The truth is, it doesn’t matter what you’ve done, nothing can separate you from God’s love. If you come to Jesus and are willing to change, He can turn your life into one of purpose and meaning.
So this Easter, amidst the chocolate candy eggs and food, my prayer is that you see and know Jesus in a whole new light. I pray you will come to know what the big deal about Him is.
