LOC FAF Sent with Love

It is a very special Faith Art Friday for Layers of Color  - it is Good Friday and the Design Team are making a statement of Faith - and we would love you to join us.  Your can click here to see the inspiration that the Designers have shared.

In these times of uncertainty, one certainty we have is the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus - worldwide this is one event we remember and celebrate each year...

I am always deeply moved by the crucifixion of Jesus, the cruel death He suffered for mankind - for you and me.  Without His crucifixion there would be no resurectrion and salvation for mankind - for you and me!  Most people would be familiar with the Scripture in John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 3:16-17

I am greatly encouraged by the 'whosoever' - it is a broad spectrum of people - you and me!!  One of the scriptures that instantly comes to mind at Easter and gives me great hope and encouragement is when Mary the Mother of Jesus, Mary ( Magdalene) and Salome went to the garden and discovered the stone had been rolled away and when they entered the tomb they saw an angel who told them

And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you'

 Mark 16:6-7

'....and Peter' what hope this brings me - Peter, with all his faults, even denying Jesus in those last hours of his life - imagine how he must have felt when he heard that Jesus has risen from the grave - and then to hear '...and Peter.' what relief and joy must have filled his heart!  Jesus especially wanted him to know - this is heart to heart and speaks to loudly of the Love of God, so personal, so intimate and so amazing!

This Easter I pray that as you substitute Peter's name for yours, your heart will be encouraged as you celebrate the resurrection of the Christ - who came into the world to save it!

HE IS RISEN - HE IS RISEN INDEED!!
