Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.

—1 Corinthians 15:3–4, NIV

This Friday, we will pause to remember the day Jesus was put to trial, the day He was nailed to the cross, and the moment He died for us so that we could be forgiven. Jesus did not defend himself.

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

—2 Corinthians 5:21, NIV

Christ died for us. He willingly took all our sins on His shoulders. He experienced the full wrath of God so that we wouldn’t have to!  

When I remember Friday, I am in awe of God’s goodness, and I am grateful for His forgiveness!  

Praise God, Jesus didn’t stay in the tomb. The fact that we get to celebrate Easter—or as I like to call it, Resurrection Sunday—brings so much hope for those of us who have placed our faith in Christ. Jesus’ resurrection reminds us that He has power over death, and we have forgiveness and redemption for our lives.  

What a blessing it is to work in a school where we can celebrate this with our students. Over the past couple of weeks, our teachers have been creating various lessons and activities in their classrooms to point our students to the hope we have in the resurrection of Christ!  

May you and your family take time this Easter weekend to remember all that God has done for you and may you have a blessed spring break!
