The Resurrection -- Love's Victory over Sin (Jesus Christ) -- The signifigance of Easter

Prophetized by Isaiah the Prophet: Speaking about the Saviour/Messiah/Christ that would come and provide salvation for the world ... the reconciling of all separated from God because of sin ... the Forgiveness of Sins ... and the bridge to eternal life in Heaven with God.

{Isaiah 53} --{The Dead Sea Scrolls written hundreds of years before Jesus Christ}

"1Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. 3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,so he did not open his mouth.8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken.9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence,nor was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand.
11 After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light of life and be satisfied;by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors.

For he bore the sin of many,and made intercession for the transgressors (salvation for all sinners)."

The Gospel is simplistic in its message:

"Everyone has sinned. Everyone needs forgiveness from sin. Jesus provides that forgiveness."

If we repent of our sins, place our faith in Jesus Christ, and accept his love and gift of salvation into our hearts as our personal Saviour ... then the barrier sin has placed between us and God is removed ... and we receive the "gift of eternal life in Heaven with God"

Jesus is the "living God" ... living in all who believe and all who believe living in Him. Jesus rose from the dead, He conquered death and destroyed the weight of sin. Life can only find victory in Jesus Christ.

Jesus said, {John 3:16-17} -

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son

{John 14:6}

"I AM the way and the truth and the life. No one come to the Father (Heaven) except through me".
