Thought you might like this shared on Palm Sunday. Gods plan to rescue humanity.
Jesus was the one and only perfect sacrifice, that was acceptable to God for all of humanity, that was promised when Adam and Ever were banished from the Garden. He was the snake crusher, who would also be crushed. He would rise from that crushing blow, that would offer life eternal, to all who live by faith in him only.
“He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.”
It is the gift of life for those who believe, but for those who don’t, it is foolishness, but also carry’s the weight of eternal judgement. God does not any to perish, but to receive the free gift of life. This does not mean, that there was not a tremendous price to pay, for our wayward hearts!
“But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5 May we not lose sight of the tremendous sacrifice, that was made on our behalf, to those who believe. We can celebrate on Easter, but as we remember what Jesus went through, May we few our devotion to him, for much was sacrificed by both the Father & the Son.
Our Hope is in you Lord, for the security in knowing, that even though we live in a world that is passing away, you have a place ready for us that will NEVER fade away.
Our Hope is not in Earthly things (See notes below).

Our Hope is not in our local, regional, or international leaders, or our nation. Our Hope is in the one true God, who knows all things and his plan marches on, in spite of those who stand against him. His plan is to rescue all those who turn to Jesus, his son, that they might be restored to a right standing before him. For those who turn to him for their Hope, there is both blessing and forgiveness, for what is behind us.
