Theme This Week: THE CROSS
Hey Lightgliders!
All that we have talked about in The Far Greater Story--Creation, Rebellion, Redemption, and Restoration--is substantiated upon one historical event: the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Think about that. Something happened in human history that confirms that the Far Greater Story is true!
Watch all The Far Greater Story sparks this week.
• Creation tells us how this world became a reality. God created.
• Rebellion explains why there is suffering and brokenness in this world. It is because we and everyone else are sinners. Sin has consequences and requires judgment.
• Redemption shares how Jesus paid the penalty for our sin at the cross and bought back our lives.
• Restoration gives us insight into why our future is bright. Jesus will restore all that is broken and God will live with His people forever.
• The Cross reminds us that this is not a fairy tale. This is a true story based upon a historical event, the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Christianity rests upon this event. If Jesus did not die on a cross and come back to life, then our faith in Him is ultimately useless.
But the truth is that He did die. He was buried in a tomb and He rose again, defeating death and conquering sin on our behalf. This is what we call the Gospel. Gospel simply means “good news,” and the good news that we have in Jesus is that through His death, burial, and resurrection we can be forgiven and live with God forever.
