God is Sovereign

Jill Austin

During my first trip to Israel in 2004, I had a revelation of what God did on my behalf when he hung on the cross and just how much God loved me. As I strolled through the Garden of Gethsemane I wondered if he saw my face before I was born. I walked over to the nearby Church of All Nations that was built over the rock slab on which Jesus prayed before his betrayal by Judas in the Garden. I knelt by the rock and reflected on the night before his crucifixion. As I reached out and laid my hand on the rock, I began to sob, racking sobs. In that moment I realized just what he had done for me. It became real to me. When I think back on that experience, I realize just how powerful God is and how that increased my confidence in who he is, who I am, and my security in him.

Earmark of Easter

Kim Johnson

“that Christ died for our sins according to Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3b–4, NIV).

This month we celebrate Easter, focusing on the crucifixion and resurrection of the One who came to do for us what we could never do for ourselves. God’s unfailing love sent in the form of His Son, Jesus, to be our Redeemer is a gift of epic proportion. Sin and darkness sought to win, but love was triumphant.

The crucifixion assumed defeat but the resurrection confirmed victory.

The crucifixion caused death but the resurrection verified life.

The crucifixion incited despair but the resurrection yielded hope.

The crucifixion brought distress but the resurrection produced joy.

The crucifixion created desperation but the resurrection generated confidence.

The crucifixion disappointed but the resurrection inspired.

The crucifixion caused division but the resurrection brought unity.

The crucifixion urged doubt but the resurrection compelled clarity.

The crucifixion said, “It is finished,” but the resurrection said, “But I’m not.”

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He is risen!

Christ the Lord is ris’n today, Alleluia! Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia! Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia! Sing, ye heav’ns, and earth, reply, Alleluia!                                               —Charles Wesley, Hymn
