I trust that each of you reading this had a wonderful day in the Lord yesterday as we celebrated Resurrection Day!  Your postings on FaceBook of the celebrations throughout the state have been wonderful to read.  And God granted us a beautiful Spring day in which to celebrate.  Fran and I worshiped with Eastland First in Lexington and Pastor Jarad taught us “the cross is total sacrifice” (his quote) and “the empty tomb is total victory!” (his quote).  Those two statements are the summation of the greatest story ever told.  A love so great it bears the weight of brokenness which sin brings and liberates the soul to a restorative relationship with the Creator God, our Heavenly Father.  Romans 6:23 teaches “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”  That is the Easter story!  Jesus paid the debt of sin and died for all.  God the Father was faithful and raised Jesus from the tomb so that we can have eternal life.  Total sacrifice and total victory!
