Looking to Jesus this past Holy Week reveals what true love looks like. Yesterday, on Resurrection Sunday, we honored the Lamb who endured pain and death as an acceptable sacrifice and gift for all who willingly accept what He did so that we could avoid the eternal punishment of separation from God, spiritual death upon our departure from this world!

Acceptance of Jesus’ personal sacrifice for our salvation also empowers us to experience fulfilling, meaningful relationships with others.

Jesus’ unimaginable pain and shedding of His blood on our account reflects His choice to love us regardless of the great cost to Him to relieve us of our sin.

It is through Christ’s suffering that we have victory. It is through His wounds that we are healed. Victory in Jesus, our Savior!

“By this we know love, that He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.” (1 John 3:16)

Can you fathom the mindset of Christ? Have you accepted His amazing gift?
