Jesus came and allowed Himself to be sacrificed so that we could have eternal life, so that we could be glorified with His glory, so that we could be sanctified, so that we could be kept by God Himself, so that we could be one with God Himself, so that we could be perfect through Him, so that we could be full of His joy, so that we could know that God loves us just as He loves Jesus, and so that the world could know and believe that Jesus was sent by God and that He alone is Lord! Jesus allowed Himself to be sacrificed so that we might have life and have it more abundantly! Have a great Easter in the power of His might!
