Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross is the most generous act in the history of the world. This week, we’re taking a look at the many ways Jesus’ death reflects his love for us and how this one act changed the trajectory of our lives and our destinies forever.
In case you’d like to use this story for study, we’ve embedded links to Scripture throughout, so you can read this on your own or share it with your family. We pray God fills you with a sense of awe and love for Jesus beyond what you’ve ever experienced.
Ever since God made the first humans, we’ve been grasping for false trees of life, leading to sin, exile, struggle, and death. For centuries, it seemed death’s grip was too strong to resist, but Jesus came as a new tree of life, a tree so powerful it broke through the hard ground of death to offer everlasting life to all who eat from it. Watch the video to see a beautiful illustration of the redemption and life Jesus brings.
