It Is Finished!

It Is Finished!

While the birth of Jesus is awesome, the resurrection is even more amazing! You could say it is the climax of the Christmas story. Jesus completed what He was meant to do. We find Jesus’ very last words in John 19:30, while hanging on the cross He said, “It is finished.” He knew that all had been accomplished and that Scripture was fulfilled. Some people may feel that you or I need to do more to earn our way to heaven, but that is like saying Jesus died for nothing. “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Eph 2:8-9 NASB

He died on the cross for you and me because of His love for us. On the third day, He rose again from the dead. This is the “Good News” that Christians celebrate: His Resurrection! He is ALIVE! And one day our Savior will return.

Happy Easter!


We Are The Reason – Avalon

verse 1:
As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find
But we never realized a Baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

Chorus:
We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

verse 2:
As the years went by we learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day a Man hung crying in the rain
All because of love
All because of love

Chorus:
We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

BRIDGE:
I finally found the reason for living
It’s in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do every word that I say
I’ll be giving my all just for Him, for Him

Chorus:
We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
