What Was The Price? #Easter

Hello everyone!

    I am so excited to be writing to you. I hope you all are excited about Easter as much as I am! The time when our Lord and Savior took on all of our sins, died for them and then rose! I hope your minds are more on this than getting in those foods that you put aside for lent.
    I really wanted to take a different approach to reminding people about what Easter means. We always talk about what Jesus went through " He was betrayed, he was captured, beaten he was spat on, he was starved he was hung, he was pierced, he was buried….."all of that and in between. But we don't really thing about what all that means.  So from here I want to dive right in.
( I had to break up the video into parts because I couldn't get the 2nd one to download into my iMovie, it may take some time to get through this but if you can spare about  45- 50 minutes I think this will really open up your mind).

    Now this next part is a video of the scientific part of what Jesus would have endured. Because we live in a world where science is what we need to find our proof, I leave you with no excuses! I posted two videos both of these talk about the medical side. It does't matter which you watch. I like video 1 because this doctor was able to express himself more. The second video is more of just the facts.

 

Just some questions for you to think about ( would love to hear your feedback to!)
1. How did watching these videos make you feel?
2. How did it change the way you think about Jesus redemption?
3. Did this encourage you to appreciate your life more?
4. What had the biggest pull on your heart and why?

    This really took me to a whole different place. I have even more of an appreciation for what Jesus did for a sinner like me. Not only did he just do it but he did it knowing that there was a chance that I wouldn't even believe in him…..It's simply amazing. On twitter I saw a pastor put it like this " Jesus didn't die FOR me…..He died AS me!" I would add. He died as me to give me His Identity! Just like the 1st video mentioned… It hits me hard to know that in all honesty I wouldn't have gone through what Jesus went through if I knew that it wouldn't have been accepted. Thank God I am not Jesus!
