John chapter 19 - Jesus is crucified as a sacrifice for ALL of our sins....
17Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). 18Here they crucified him, and with him two others—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.
23When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
28Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." 29A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. 30When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
Happy Easter my dear family! Please take a moment to reflect on why we celebrate Easter, & the significance it has for all of us. We are blessed to live in a free country, free to worship how we please, & have resources available to us that boggle my mind.
While we are all generally healthy, please remember to also keep in your prayers Grandma (who I just heard was having surgery when she was in the OR), & the other countless families who have ill loved ones, whether they are parents, grandparents, or children.
Love you all....
April
