Jesus Paid the Price


We all enjoy receiving good gifts. One of the greatest gifts is not something you can wrap or unwrap. It is not carried in a box, but is carried in one's heart. It is the gift of forgiveness.

Romans 6:23 says, "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Jesus paid the price so we could be forgiven and receive the gift of eternal life.

You may view a unique -- yet scriptural -- portrayal of Jesus' trial, death and resurrection by going to http://www.thebricktestament.com

Parents should note that not all "lego stories" may be appropriate to allow your children to view by themselves. But, the stories from the life of Christ may be something you'd enjoy looking at as a family.

Celebrate the gift of forgiveness this week. Do you get upset easily? Do you stay mad, or do you forgive? Since Jesus forgave us, we should also forgive others. Let's act on that during this special Easter season.
