Jesus exchanged His life for ours.
Jesus didn't go to the cross because He had wronged God. He went to the cross in order to die in our place. The sin that is around us and within us needed to be dealt with through someone's blood being shed, and the perfect Son of God, Jesus, offered His life to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Jesus came to life so that we could come to life.
Jesus died as a sacrifice for sin, and He was buried in order to silence sin once and for all. His resurrection then is the signpost for a new life freed from the bondage on sin. Through faith, God the Father has granted us the gift of life in Jesus. His resurrection power and life is now inside every believer.
Jesus gives His Spirit to anyone who believes.
When He had completed His work here on earth, He ascended back to the throne of God. But before He left, He promised to give His followers the Holy Spirit - The One who would come alongside and empower Jesus' followers to love each other and to make disciples. Now we celebrate Jesus' Gospel!
