The Risen Christ - Day 2

God created the earth and us to be perfect, and it took us a few ticks on the clock to mess it up. Our sin broke our relationship with God so that we couldn’t be with him—and he wasn’t ok with that. So right there, in the garden, God made a plan to rescue us from ourselves. He would send a blood sacrifice to pay our price, to clean us, and to break the curse of sin forever.

Jesus was that sacrifice. From the beginning of creation, the Son of God knew one day he would die a painful, gruesome death in order to save sinful, angry, disobedient men. And because he loved us so much, he walked willingly to the cross, suffered our punishment, paid our cost, and finished what we had started in the garden.

This is God’s Redemption Story.
