Easter is not just another holiday on the calendar. It’s definitely not about Easter bunnies or eggs.

When you look at the cross, what should be your contemplation? You should see:

1. A message of salvation to believe John 3:16 2. An example to emulate 1 John 3:16 Things to note on forgiveness:

2. Forgiveness is an eternal possession of the man in Christ. Ephesians 1:7 2. Forgiveness doesn’t come by prayer, it came by the provision. Ephesians 2:5-7, 1 John 2:1 3. Forgiveness is free but it came at a cost (Jesus’s death) and it is once and for all.

Our past, present, and future mistakes are already paid for and this spurs us on to worship.
