Freedom from Death

How many of us are truly aware of the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross that faithful day over 2000 years ago. So many were and are oblivious to the sacrifice that had just been made on their behalf. So many of us do the same thing to God. We wave as we pass Him by, never give a second thought to the sacrifice He made on our behalf. God allowed the jaws of death to close in on His Son. And millions pass by oblivious and indifferent. God sending Jesus to die on our behalf was not a panic move; it wasn’t a spontaneous decision. It was planned. Jesus’ death was not the result of jealous Jews or hard-hearted Romans. It was the result of a loving God, who in His wisdom, said there was no other way. Jesus chose the nails, to demonstrate just how far he was willing to go to win your heart. He chose the cross to prove just how much He loves each and every one of us. - Pastor Ryan Martinez
