The Lord’s Redemptive Solution
While many Americans enjoy celebrating Easter with family and friends; attending church, gatherings, Easter egg hunts and visits from the Easter bunny, it is pertinent that we remember the power of Jesus Christ’s resurrection and understand the depths of it. Every celebration and Easter tradition pail in comparison to the gravity of the resurrection power that lives in us through Christ’s resurrection from the dead.
Jesus DEFEATED and CONQUERED death for you and for me.
We have an opportunity, because of the Lord’s ultimate sacrifice, to live and flow in this resurrection power every single day of our lives, not just on a day we reflect on and honor our Savior. I invite you to take a moment to think about what life could look like to be fully aware, every minute of every day, that the Spirit of our resurrected Christ lives in you! Dwell in that truth and let it soak into your mind for just a moment. What immense joy, love, boldness and power to proclaim this to all that you encounter, including those trapped in the darkest bondage of sex trafficking. This power of our resurrected King is the platform we have to boldly shine a light and proclaim there is hope, there is freedom, and there is newness of life available to those who are surrounded by darkness and hopelessness.
This freedom is not just available to victims of sex trafficking and sexual exploitation. It is the ultimate freedom and redemption for all players who are in the life - the pimp, the buyer of sex and those in the buyers life that have been affected by their choice to purchase sex.
Without Christ’s redemptive solution for us all, what hope would we have to cling to? He took on all of our sin and bore all of our shame so that we may walk in freedom for eternity. His victory over death is our victory to claim, today and every day. Thank you Lord for setting us free!
Happy Easter from the entire team at Rescue America! HE is RISEN!
