Theme: James: Faith In Action
Brethren,
It is another Easter Season. And how fitting that our Bible Study this Sunday is looking at The Cross, The Resurrection and The Mission.
Key Learning Points:
1. The Cross is the ultimate symbol of love and of the fulfilment of God’s promise of salvation. The Romans and their Jewish co-conspirators wanted the cross to be the ultimate symbol of cruelty and shame. But God meant it to be the best imagery of His justice, mercy, love, and a constant reminder that by ourselves, no man can earn or merit salvation.
2. Without the resurrection, the life and death of Jesus would have been nothing more than the tragic and unjust death of an exceptionally good man. But with it Jesus was powerfully declared to be the Son of God who has power over life and death.
3. That Jesus died and rose from death, defeating sin, death, and hell, is the Good News of the Gospel. and preaching the good news to everyone is the one mission Christ gave His followers. So, we are not just called to salvation, but sent to people. It was this message that lay at the heart of the apostolic preaching.

Happy Easter
