Hello lovelies! Happy Good Friday! I absolutely love the Easter holiday. It’s the fulfillment of so many stories and prophecies in the Old Testament and, ultimately, the promise that God made to us … that Jesus would come, in flesh, and save us from ourselves. He would take our sin, pay our debt to God by enduring the full wrath of an almighty Sovereign God, and allow us to put on His righteousness. That floors me. Do you know what they did to Jesus, for us? Beat him. Whipped him. Mocked him. Spit on him. Hung him on a cross with huge nails driven into His hands and feet. Bleeding for hours from his wounds, fighting for the ability to breath because his collarbones were cutting off his airway. He said seven things on the cross and, in order to do so, had to PUSH. UP. on the nails in his feet to make it possible to get his words out. His mother watching the whole thing. And all with you in mind. I’m crying.
[Now read Psalm 22. It was written hundreds of years before crucifixion was even invented, by David, but does it not sound exactly like what Jesus was going through on the cross FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF JESUS? Mind blown. You’re welcome.]
But the Good News, or ‘gospel’, is it doesn’t end there. His death defined love, and because of what Jesus did on the cross, it gave us FULL ACCESS to God. Sin no longer separated us from Him. He no longer dwelled in a temple, behind a veil, and you no longer had to go through the high priest to be forgiven of your sins. You can just talk to Him. You can feel His presence. He dwells in us and with us, and we have Him to lean on. We can know Him personally because of Jesus. That is so sweet to me. His desire to be close to us. I will forever sing His praises, no matter my circumstances, because I am in awe of just how GOOD he is. Let’s all remember … This weekend is not about the bunny. It’s about the lamb.
Thanks for stopping by. I am so thankful for you!! xo.
P.S.

-If you live in the Jacksonville, Florida area, and are looking for a church to celebrate Easter, I’d love for you to check out the Church of Eleven22. There’s a Carnival on Saturday starting at 4, service starts at 5:30. Sunday services are at 9:00, 11:22, 1:30, and 5:22. I’ll be at the 9:00 and 11:22 services! Don’t be a stranger 🙂
With love & sequins,

“He humbled himself in obedience to God and died on a cross. Therefore, God elevated Him to the place of highest honor and gave Him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Phillippians 2:8-11
