Jesus
The Word of Life
Only begotten son of God
Only begotten son of God
Born of a virgin
Fully man
Fully God
Fully God
Experienced temptation, exhaustion, hunger, thirst, frustration, sorrow, even pain
He knew no sin
Showed us unconditional love, unbridled joy, fathomless mercy
Was in communion with God
He ministered, healed, taught, rebuked
He prayed
He suffered
He died on a cross
Our Redeemer
The Atonement
The Perfect Lamb of God
The Atonement
The Perfect Lamb of God
He was buried
He was dead for three days
He defeated the last enemy, death
He resurrected to life again
He appeared to his followers
They touched his wounds
He promised them the Spirit would come
He promised them the Spirit would come
He commanded them to spread the Good News
He promised to be with us forever
He ascended to heaven
He sits at the right hand of the Father
His sacrificial, redemptive work is finished
He is coming back.
Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
Come!
Come!
These pictures are from our lunch picnic along the river on Easter Sunday. After fellowship, we sat under a giant willow tree and shared delicious treats with each other. Willow even got to try hitting a ball with a bat for the first time. Baseball might not be her thing.
I love these pictures that I snapped on the way home.
They are some of my favorite so far this year.
