God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is the second Person of the holy Trinity. "God so loved the world that he gave His only son,"John 3:16. Jesus is God's divine Gift to us. This Gift is free, not earned by good works. The cross is control to our faith. His grace is available to everyone.
Jesus shed his blood for the forgiveness of our sins, life and salvation. Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness,"Hebrews 9:22. God made a blood covenant between Jesus and his followers. Surrender your life to Jesus and enter into His eternal covenant. Sometime ago, I was on a Myanmar vessel. These seamen are mainly Buddhists. I asked one of them, "Who is Jesus?" His answer was most profound which many so called christians don't know. He said with conviction, "Jesus is God." I led him in a simple prayier confessing this holy Jesus as his personal savior.
Jesus is God. He lives forever. Because Jesus lives, we also will live. The message we proclaim in the death, burial and resurrection of our Savior. Jesus broke the curse of sin and death. Now we have a new beginning. The tomb is empty. Jesus is alive in me.Thanks to Gid for his indescribable Gift. By faith I liove for Jesus and have eternal life.
Next week, we'll share with you the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit.

Please continue to pray for Tom Malone as he was overnight in the hospital coughing
up blood. Coumadim, a blood thinner, caused his blood to be too thin. This is an effective, but dangerous medication which constantly has to be checked. It helps to prevent clots and strokes. All the tests were negative, and his medication was adjusted. He thanked God for this powerful medication which is helping him to be alive, but it has to be closely monitored. Let him remind you that we're in a great spiritual warfare as never before in these end times. Stand firm against Satan by putting on the full armor of God. In Eph. 6:10-20 we are to fasten the belt of Truth, breastplate of righteousness, feet of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.

Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" John 11: 25-26. I pray you do believe that Jesus sacrificially laid down His life by shedding His innocent blood. Have faith in His resurrection power for the forgiveness of our sins, life and salvation. Purposely dedicate your life this Easter to service our Risen Lord in love with power coming from the Holy Spirit. Because Jesus lives, I also will live. Fix your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfector of our faith. Have a blessed Easter!
To the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen. (Ro. 16:27)

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. (Ro. 1:7)
