Milestones - Salvation, Baptism, CommunionSample

Jesus never sinned, but the rulers of Israel believed He was a criminal and needed to be punished, so they sentenced Jesus to die on a cross.

After He died, His body was wrapped in cloths and buried in a tomb, but He didn’t stay there. On the third day, some women went to go visit the place where He had been buried, and they saw that Jesus’ body was not inside the tomb. There was an angel nearby, and he told the women that Jesus was not in the tomb because he was now alive.

The cross reminds us of the most incredible rescue of all time. It reminds us that no matter how big a rescue we need, God is able. Most of all, the cross means LOVE. Jesus died on the cross and rose again because He loves each one of us. We can live in freedom with Christ because Jesus, even though He never sinned, paid the price for our sins. Jesus died and rose again so we could be saved.
