Jesus came to save me and you. He came to save the sinners of his day too. Only they didn't get it. So many times in that last year of his ministry, the Pharasies made attempts on his life. Cephus, "The Godfather" put a hit out on Jesus. So how does that work? The most respected and religious people of their time, and they found a way to justify killing Jesus. WOW. They failed in all their attempts leading up to his arrival in Jerusalem. They were really freaked out when Jesus came in riding on a donkey as the King. You see, the people (including Judas) wanted a King who would rule over them, and throw off the oppression of the Roman empire. When they saw that this just wasn't going to happen, all heck broke loose. One week after entering the city as a Royal King, he was hanging on a cross!
How will you look at Jesus this Easter? Do you see him as a good guy who was a good teacher? Do you see him as a guy who was a prophet and spoke to God? Do you see him as a martyr who suffered and died, but the story ends there? Or will you see JESUS for what he IS.... The Way, The Truth and The Life! He is the only way to Heaven. He is who He says He is! GOD!
