Hebreus 9:9

As followers of Jesus, we have been set free from the penalty of sin, but we are called to be part of God’s army to set other captives free and defeat the enemy, Satan. In this plan written by James Goll, learn to put on the Armor of God and prepare for victorious battle!

We read in God’s Word that without the shedding of blood, there can be no forgiveness. And obedience is better than sacrifice. The manifestation of these words play out when Jesus’ obedience led to the shedding of His blood and the ultimate sacrifice is made – for us! This is Plan Five of Nine of the book of Hebrews where we see that although salvation is free for us, there was a great cost that Jesus paid. 

We all want to thrive and live comfortable, successful, satisfying lives. The world offers no shortage of self-focused solutions aimed at securing them. What does it mean to live abundantly in Christ? With readings from Flourish: How the Love of Christ Sets Us Free from Self-Focus by Lydia Brownback, begin to know the truth in God's Word—exchanging a self-focused life for the abundant life Jesus promises them in the gospel.

Early in the final week of Christ, the props and players for Friday's drama are in position. Only this is no play: it's a divine plan. All heaven waits and watches. All eyes are on the Nazarene. Draw near to the Savior and prepare to celebrate the greatest miracle ever conceived. Feel the passion. Sense the truth. Hear the promise. Death has no power.
