Have you ever wondered why Jesus died on the cross? I have definitely asked that question before. It brings up a lot more questions for me, too! Why did Jesus have to go through all that suffering to die on the cross? We don’t have to look far to find these answers. Because real people documented it for us when it happened, we can know that Jesus died on the cross for us and then came back to life so that we could be forgiven and connected with God forever.

Jesus loves us so much.

Jesus suffered because He loves us.

Jesus took our punishment because He loves us.

Jesus died and then came back to life because He loves us.

So, my challenge for you today is this: remember that, especially as we celebrate Easter! Remember that Jesus died and came back to life because He loves you. Write it down somewhere you’ll see it often this week!
