Easter: Ransomed - Rescued - Saved

New Creations This Easter – Surrendering to Christ Pastor Joseph Clark – Airing April 9, 2023 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” – John 14:6 Easter, is the celebration of the victorious ressurection of Jesus Christ, His triumph over sin, and our eternal life with Him in Paradise. Christ is the Son of God. God the Son. One of the three person’s in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Christ has always been. He came to us in the flesh as man as prophesized. He came as the sacrifical lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. He died on the cross as the sacrifice for our sins. He was betrayed and abandoned by those He loved, He was handed over to the Romans by the Hebrew religious auuthorities, He was brutally tortured and put to death through crucifixion. You see, my brothers and sisters, He offered Himself and willingly went to His death as the sacrificial lamb, who took all of our sins upon Himself. He took your sin and my sin upon himself, and died for you and me, to save us from eternal torment. 3 days later, he miraculously rose from the dead. All those who yield and dedicate themselves to the Lord Jesus, receiving Him into their hearts as Lord and Savior, as the personal savior of their lives, are saved by His sacrifice. We share in His glorious kingdom. His invitation is to all people of all nations. There is only one true God. Only one true way. And that way is your Lord Jesus. To all of those listening. Your soul is eternal. There is no opting out of this. Only through the Lord Jesus Christ do you spend that eterntity with Him. And here is something to consider further. You can become part of His glorious kingdom right now, here on Earth, when you give yourself to Christ as Lord of your life. "Let the resurrection joy lift us from loneliness and weakness and despair to strength and beauty and happiness." – Rev. Floyd W. Tomkins Please pray for me as I shall for you. Heavenly Father Almighty God, all worship, all glory, all honor, all praise goes to you, the one true Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We humbly praise you and give our heartfelt thanks to you for the salvation that can only be found in your son, Jesus Christ. We pray for all those listening that have yet to open their hearts to you, that they give themselves to Jesus Christ, right here and now, and become new creaitons in Christ immediately. Cleansed by His blood, and saved by His grace. In the Holy name of the risen Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
