WHAT DOES IT MEAN? #3
I recall being excited
about Easter
when I was a young girl. I loved
the elaborate Easter egg hunts,
Easter baskets, and new Easter
outfits. I kept our family's Easter
traditions and did these activities
for two my boys.
when I was a young girl. I loved

outfits. I kept our family's Easter

The church I attend
now puts emphasis
on the cross and the Lamb of God. I do
not avoid Easter symbols like colored
eggs, butterflies,
rabbits, and lilies as
long as the Biblical meaning they portray
is
addressed.
Today, I am sharing
some scriptures
about the Cross and the Lamb of God. They are the main reasons
why I have
a Passion for Jesus
Christ!
LIFE LESSON:
GOD PROVIDED THE LAMB, HIS SON!
GENESIS 22:8
And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for
Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them
went together.
JOHN 1:29, 36
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said,
“Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of
the world!
36 And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, “Behold the Lamb
of God!”
LIFE LESSON:
THE LAMB AND THE THRONE ROOM
DEPICTION OF THRONE IN HEAVEN
REVELATION 7:17
For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne
will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God
will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
REVELATION 21:22
But I saw no temple
in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
REVELATION 22:3
And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God
and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
LIFE LESSON:
JESUS DID NOT COME DOWN OFF THE CROSS
MATTHEW 27:32,40, 42
32 Now as they came out,
they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross.
40 And saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it
in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.”
42 He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He is the King
of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe
Him.
MARK 15:21,32
21 Then they compelled a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, the
father of Alexander and Rufus, as he was coming out of the country and passing
by, to bear His cross.
32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross,
that we
may see and believe.” Even those who were crucified with Him reviled
Him.
LUKE 23:26
Now as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man,
Simon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross
that he might bear it after Jesus.
JOHN 19:17,19
17 And He, bearing His cross,
went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in
Hebrew, Golgotha,
19 Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross.
And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
LIFE LESSON:
THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS IS NOT
FOOLISH!
1 CORINTHIANS 1:18
For the
message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to
us who are being saved it is the power of God.
GALATIANS 6:14
But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross
of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to
the world.
PHILIPPIANS 2:8
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself
and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
