Matthäus 26:52

Chocolate bunnies…puffy marshmallow chicks…pastel-colored clothes you only wear once a year…it must be Easter season! Join us as we PREPARE our hearts for this truth: Jesus kept God’s promises by dying on a cross for our sins and then raising back to life!

Pastor and writer Rich Wilkerson Jr. shines a spotlight on every Christian’s calling to reach the world, seek the lost, and save sinners with Jesus’ scandalous message of the gospel of grace. The Bible calls Jesus a friend of sinners. What does that mean? In  Friend of Sinners , Rich Wilkerson Jr. shows readers the profound implications of the reality that Jesus calls us friends not because of who we are or what we have done, but because of who he is. While he was on earth, he knew that people needed to belong before they would want to behave. He understood that the power within him was greater than the darkness around him, so he loved fearlessly.

Easter is not about chicks and bunnies. Scripture describes Jesus’ experience to purchase our forgiveness, but His death was not the end of the story. Easter is hope, renewal, mercy and grace. Each day of this devotional contain a short (1-2 minute) audio message. The guests share their thoughts and experiences about renewal in their lives. They will help you focus on the mercies and hope God extends to you.

Holy Week is a very important part of Jesus' story, and the Bible has a lot to say about it. This reading plan looks closely at Holy Week and Jesus' willing sacrifice for you.
