Symbol of Hope

Andy's sermon on Sunday -- The Final Hours -- set the tone for Easter by recounting the final hours of Jesus' life. While the cross had been a symbol of shame, ONE crucifixion has made it a symbol of hope. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him" -- that is, whoever places their trust in Him, makes Him the Lord of their life, etc. -- "shall not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16).

Thank you Jesus, for not only choosing death, but death on a cross, so that I may enjoy the freedom that is found in You.
