Resurrection Egg Day 7

Day 7 - Nails in the Cross

Three large nails were driven into Jesus's hands and feet to nail Him to the cross.


Read John 19:16-22


Jesus died so our sins could be forgiven and so we could live forever with God. In Romans 3:23 the Bible says, "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."


In the beginning, God created Adam and Eve and gave them the freedom to choose. Sadly, when given the choice to obey God, they chose to disobey Him instead. The result was that Adam and Eve were separated from God. And as offspring of Adam and Eve we are born sinful and separated from God. We also willfully disobey or rebel against God every day, which makes it clear we are sinners all on our own.

God does not sin. He is perfect and holy. He hates sin. So maybe you understand why our sin keeps us from God. Our sin separates us from Him.


Here's the good news!

God the Father provided only one way to escape the punishment of sin by sending His only Son, Jesus, to die. Jesus received the death that sinners like us deserve. Because Jesus is the perfect Son of God, only He could be punished in the place of sinners like us! By His death on the cross, Jesus built a bridge for believers across the the canyon of sin and separation.


Would you like to have a relationship with Jesus, be forgiven for all your sins, and live forever with God in heaven? If you are willing to repent or turn away from your sins and believe in Jesus and His death on the cross for sinners, just tell Him right now. He promises that if you turn and trust only in Him, He will forgive you and make you clean inside. Daily ask for help from the Holy Spirit, who Jesus gives to Christians to help us obey God every day.


Thank you Jesus for dying for my sins on the cross to give me abudant life for eternity with you.


See you tomorrow for Day 8!
