Words of Life

Matthew 27:50
The crucifixion of Christ is why we must understand why He had to suffer and die on the Cross. The Apostle Peter tells us that Jesus died on the cross for our sins to bring us to God.
Through His death, we have been brought from death to life. If people believe in Christ, they are given the permanent indwelling Holy Spirit, who will guide, instruct, and convict them.
Jesus’s death, burial and resurrection also shows us that there is life after death. Secular teaching tells us that when we die, our lives are over, but Christ proved there is life beyond the grave.
The suffering and death Jesus endured have given us the sure promise that we will continue to live after death. While we won’t live on this earth again until the Millennial reign of Christ, we will live in Paradise still with the Lord’s blessings.
As we reflect on Easter, we need to notice Christ’s suffering. He didn’t deserve to die, yet He did so because He wanted to restore our broken relationship with the Father. Through His victory, death, burial, and resurrection, we have been brought close to Him and given a new life.
Easter celebrates this reality and the truth that when we die, we will not slip into oblivion but rather enter into eternal life as we prepare our Easter Resurrection.
