The teachings of Jesus, often marked by contrasting “Red Letters,” help us discern between the burden of the Law and the rest provided through Grace. He emphasizes that He has already taken the weight of perfection, urging believers to seek rest in Him rather than striving for righteousness through their own efforts. While the Law reveals our sins and emphasizes our inability to achieve perfection, Jesus provides the path to freedom through the new covenant, inviting us to rest in His finished work.

Jesus’ words are more than mere stories; they are divine revelations meant to transform our understanding of faith and the essence of the gospel. These narratives underscore the profound truth that our relationship with Christ is the cornerstone of eternal life, not the mere accumulation of good deeds or religious observance. Let’s embrace the gospel fully, living out our faith with the assurance that we are eternally secured at the right hand of God through Jesus Christ.

The Old and New Testaments alike are resounding reminders that God’s plan has always been about His grace, not our merit. Even in the Gospels, Jesus’ life and parables prepare us for this era of grace, inviting us to choose between living under the impossible weight of the Law or embracing the glorious freedom of righteousness by Grace.

God doesn’t bless us by tallying up our strongest efforts and weighing them against our worst moments. Instead, He freely blesses because of what Jesus did. God freely gives us His entire life at no expense to yourself. Jesus did all the work and took all your sins so that you could simply rest, knowing that your righteousness is a result of His Grace!

The resurrection cements the profound truth that through Jesus, perfection is achieved, and our sins are forgiven, making us the perfect temple for God’s Spirit. This realization invites us to embrace our identity as God’s dwelling place, perfected for all time by Christ’s sacrifice, and to live in the light of His grace, free from the debts of sin. Let’s live in the power of this hope, knowing that in Christ we are made perfect, not by our deeds, but by His amazing grace!

The Resurrection is proof that you have been acquitted of your sins, reminding you that your salvation is complete! The intricate plan of salvation and its flawless performance demonstrate just how far God would go to satisfy justice in forgiving the world. Receive the result of Jesus’ resurrection, knowing that because He lives, so now do you!
