Easter is many things to many people, but if you value God's Word, the Bible, you know it is everything. It is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus who died on a cross to pay the penalty of sin for all humankind, past, present, and future. He left His grave to conquer death and to secure life for all those who trust in Him (Romans 4:25).

Jesus is alive!

Completed Puzzle
It Is Finished!

Jesus completed all the pieces to the puzzle of eternal life. It is finished and there is nothing left for us to do. There are no more pieces to the puzzle. The work of salvation is complete.

Recognizing the Greatness of the Resurrected Savior:
Gaining a Boldness Like Peter's, Part 2 of 3

When we recognize the awesomeness of the resurrection of our Savior, we gain courage to speak up for and on behalf of Him.  






In light of injustice we consider Jesus, who lived a righteous life but was treated and killed as a criminal. But he did this for us. Because of injustice toward Him, we can live justified, with hope of a privileged future.

An interview with my father about a very serious doctrine that we must understand and cannot take for granted. Let us teach that Jesus Himself died on the cross, because our eternity destiny depends on it. 





A tribute to the amazing grace of our precious Savior, Jesus Christ, God's Son. A celebration of His resurrection that is perfect to read at Easter time and all throughout the year.

  4. Love this from your "Stone Cold Truth:

    How could someone spread His arms so open with love,
    and leave them extended
    to take the blows of torture, of humiliation, of rejection
    ...even rejection from His Father?

    Happy Easter! He is risen!

    1. Hi Karen. This is our ever-compassionate Jesus and the post is inspired by my first published Bible study called Resurrecting Grace.
