EASTER, What Does It Really Mean to Me and Mankind?

The story of Phinehas, as recounted in the scriptures, starkly illustrates God's view on sin and the lengths to which He will go to uphold righteousness among His people. In this message, Phinehas acted decisively against sin, reflecting God’s intolerance of wrongdoing and His demand for holiness among those who follow Him. This Old Testament account sheds light on the serious nature of sin and the extent of God’s commitment to eradicating it, setting a precedent for the ultimate act of love and redemption. The severity with which God views sin, demonstrated through Phinehas’ actions, underscores a consistent theme throughout biblical history: sin necessitates atonement. It is within this framework of understanding God's righteous standards and His unyielding stance against sin that Easter, Resurrection Day, finds its profound significance. Easter marks the culmination of God’s redemptive plan for mankind, a plan that required the ultimate sacrifice to address the grave seriousness of sin. In His infinite love and mercy, God sent His Son, Jesus, to live among us—a life marked by sinlessness and unwavering obedience to the Father. Jesus' crucifixion was the pivotal moment in human history, underscoring the seriousness of sin and the extraordinary lengths to which God would go to reconcile humanity to Himself. By willingly enduring the cross, Jesus took upon Himself the weight of our sins, paying the price that we could never pay. His resurrection three days later signified victory over sin and death, offering hope and salvation to all of mankind. Easter, therefore, is not just a historical event but a cornerstone of faith that affirms God's love for us—demonstrating that through Jesus’ sacrifice, redemption is possible for everyone who believes. It is a reminder that God’s stance on sin is unwavering, but so is His love for His creation, a love so profound that He would sacrifice His only Son to ensure our freedom from sin through faith, repentance, and eternal life with Him.
