God Loves You
Friends, this is all you really need to know:
John 3:16 (The Message)
16-18"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person's failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.
If you don't know Christ, or are lacking a personal relationship with God, perhaps it's time to open up the Bible and see what Easter is all about. Consider the cross; instead of merely dismissing it as a charm to wear around your neck, really think about what Jesus work on the cross represents for you.
Consider plugging in to a good Bible based church for an Easter service, or pick up a version of the Bible (or read online for free) that's easy to read and understand, like The Message, Amplified, or New English Translations. Start in the Gospel of John, and really take the time to marinate on each verse. After all, the Bible is God's love letter to you.
God bless you.
Good Night
