In conjunction with our recent Easter Special (Part 1), we dive deeper into the Easter story, examining it from the perspective of the Father. The story of Easter is not just about Jesus' death and resurrection; it is also about the Father's love for His Son and for us.
The Father's Unconditional Love
The Father loves His Son with an unconditional love. This love is not based on anything that Jesus has done or will do. It is simply because Jesus is His Son. This love is the foundation for everything that happens in the Easter story.
Examining the Unity between the Father and the Son
The Father and the Son are one in purpose and being. They have always been and will always be together. This unity is reflected in the way that Jesus always does the Father's will. He came to earth to do the Father's will, and He died on the cross to accomplish the Father's plan of redemption.
Jesus' Unwavering Commitment to the Father's Will
Jesus was committed to doing the Father's will, even when it meant suffering and death. He knew that the Father's will was good, and He was willing to do whatever it took to fulfill it. This commitment is a testament to the love that Jesus has for the Father.
The Father's Plan for Each One of Us
The Father has a plan for each one of us. He wants us to know Him and to experience His love. He sent His Son to die on the cross so that we could be reconciled to Him. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we become part of the Father's family, and we can experience His love and forgiveness.
Conclusion: Embracing the Father's Redemptive Plan
The Easter story is a story of hope and redemption. It is a story about the Father's love for His Son and for us. It is a story about Jesus' commitment to doing the Father's will, and it is a story about the Father's plan for each one of us. As we reflect on the Easter story, let us be encouraged to embrace the Father's redemptive plan for our lives.
