Matthew 26:36 - 28:10; John 18:1 - 20:18
Jesus
is alive! We celebrate with you and your family the joy of Easter. This
week’s account in The Gospel Project for Kids® is all about Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection three days later.
Why
did Jesus have to die? God is holy and just, and He requires due
payment for sin. To simply forgive without receiving a payment would be
unjust. The payment for sin is death. (Romans 6:23) Jesus came to earth to
save us from our sin (Matthew 1:21), to show God’s love to us (Romans
5:7-8), and to give those who believe in Him eternal life (John 3:16).
Jesus came to die so that we would be forgiven (Ephesians 1:7), and to bring
us to God. (1 Peter 3:18)
Jesus’
resurrection proved that God accepted Jesus’ death as payment for our
sins. Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection are not the end of the story,
but the climax of God’s plan to redeem us. Pray with your family,
thanking God for sending His Son, Jesus, to be the Savior of the world.
