Oh, how easy it is for mere mortals to be trapped in sin, like a bug, ensnared in the spider’s web.
Yet for all our sinfulness, the Father gave up His one & only Son, who died on the cross & rose up again on the 3rd day, defeating death and triumphing over Satan.
By Jesus death and resurrection, we are saved and now have a way back to God!! ✝️ That is the amazing grace of God 🙏❤️
Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV
[8] For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— [9] not by works, so that no one can boast.
🎶Amazing Grace (my chains are gone - Chris Tomlin)🎵
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love
Amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, who called me here below
Will be forever mine, will be forever mine
You are forever mine
The lyrics of this hymn describe fallen people like us and the fallen world we live in, so well, and as we celebrate the Risen Lord today, Easter Sunday 31.03.2024, may we be reminded by the scars on Jesus hands, feet and body, that God loves us and His grace is poured out freely on everyone, believer and non-believer alike everyday.
2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV
[9] But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;
Jesus is risen – to God be the glory, always 🙏❤️
