The Gift…
2 Corinthians 18-21 NLT
“And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.“

The TRUE meaning of EASTER:
But he was pierced for our rebellion,
crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
He was whipped so we could be healed. (Isaiah 53:5)

His Love For Us…
Mark 15:16-20 NIV
16 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. 17 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. 18 And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” 19 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

Man of Sorrows…
Isaiah 53:1-12 ESV
Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.

Christ at Calvary, 1883

The Cross is the Answer by Catherine Doherty - Madonna House Apostolate
When I’m discouraged, I remember that I have recourse to the only thing I know will keep me from absolute discouragement, and that is Calvary. Whenever I feel that the things of the world are too much for me, I take refuge at the foot of the cross.
Even if the whole world is shrouded in darkness, and the curtains of all my temples are rent, I know that — although I cannot see, nor hear, nor understand — I am safe at the feet of my crucified Saviour.

March 16: Happy Birthday, Sal!
Happy Birthday, Sal! Today you would have turned 8 years old. We remember when we saw you at the pet store on September 15th, 2010. Cavalier King Charles Cocker Spaniel. You were pink with barely any hair at all. We connected immediately. Another couple was going to adopt you but I’m SO glad we did instead. We filled out the papers, picked you up in your infamous “little red kennel,” and took you home.On the drive home, you sat in the very back of the “little red kennel” and ripped up all your tissue then stared at us with huge golden eyes. We tried to think of names for you but none of them would do, until dad said, “Let’s name her Salvation because of what Jesus Christ did for us at Calvary.” It was PERFECT! YOU were perfect! And truly, Sal, I don’t know what we would have done without you. We believe you saved us from many years that could have been dreary and boring without you. When we arrived, we presented you to the others who had stayed home. One wasn’t sure you were a real dog at all, but a robot. But when she picked you up she felt your little heart beating and you stole our hearts forever. You ran all around the house, we fed you peppermint sprinkles (because it was a birthday), and you showed no interest in your dog food at all, only treats. We took lots of pictures with you and at the end of the day, after a movie, you rolled over in your little red kennel and went to sleep. We will never forget that day because on that day on and throughout your seven years with us, you were our best friend and companion. You made us laugh, play, and worry. You made us love more and smile more. You were a ball of light and lit up our worlds from that day on and forever. Even though you left us too soon at 7 years old, you left us with memories we will never forget. You will always hold first place in our hearts. You are in a class all by yourself. You are beautiful and bright! Even though we miss you terribly we know that you are resting in Heaven, thinking of you always brings a smile to our hearts and faces. You will never be forgotten. Your light will shine on and on and on forever! We love you, Salvation!
