On April 3, 33 AD, at 9:00 in the morning, the first nail was struck and Jesus was crucified. Jesus took our place and sacrificed His life for us. Jesus did not merely carry our sin and nail it to the cross, He absorbed our sin and nailed Himself to the cross. The holy justice of God punishing sin and the amazing grace of God forgiving sin. And it happened on a certain date on the calendar and at a certain time on the clock. Then three days later, on April 5, 33 AD, something miraculously happened. Jesus rose from the dead proving that He is the Son of God. We believe in the physical, supernatural, dead-coming-back-to-life resurrection of Jesus Christ. That’s the incredible claim of Christianity and today we affirm our faith, we worship our Lord, and we celebrate!
