Big idea: Christians are to Remember Jesus’ sufferings and live in the hope of His resurrection.

Church family, let us take a moment to reflect on the depth of Christ’s suffering for our salvation. He was betrayed, handed over to be condemned though He was innocent. He was mocked, scourged, spit upon, and insulted, enduring shame and brutal pain at the hands of those He came to save. Finally, He was killed, taking the full weight of our sin upon Himself. Yet, He endured it all willingly—out of love for us.

If we truly grasp the cost of our salvation, how can we live unchanged? Let this be a call to renewed gratitude and devotion. If we have taken His sacrifice lightly, may we return to Him with hearts full of love and commitment. Jesus suffered so we could be saved—let us live in a way that honors the price He paid.
