Because He Lives (Pack Of 25)

There?s good news today! Yet, as we look around us, we see that problems abound?everywhere! Though you and I face despair, still there is hope! You do not have to wonder if anyone really cares or if there is a genuine path to lasting happiness. The good news is that God has provided a way to joy and peace, though it was very costly. Do we have to pay? No, someone has already paid for us. You see, you and I have a sin debt that we cannot pay. Jesus paid our debt?though He did not owe it. Following is a word picture of all of this, the greatest event of history. God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to the earth in the form of a man to pay for my sins and yours. Jesus was God in the flesh. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us. John 1:1,14 He also placed Himself in the hands of angry men. Following is what men did to ?God? as they crucified ?Him,? and what it all means. Here representative men enact what mankind think and feel about God.Note what they did to... HIS FACE...they spit in his face, and buffeted him;...Matthew 26:67The face of God in the scriptures stands for his divine favor. To spit in one?s face was the ultimate expression of contempt and shame. When they spit in the face of Jesus, they were saying, ?YOU CANNOT BE THE REDEEMER.? Over against the contemptuous acts of men
