EASTER – What we celebrate and why

The Gospel, the Good News is that Jesus Christ died for our sins. He was  buried and he was raised to life on the third day. By this Gospel, we are saved. This  means that our sins are forgiven. We are made righteous with God and have eternal  life. If we accept Jesus (God’s son) and what he did for us, we are saved. We have  eternal life. 

Jesus was punished that we might be forgiven:  

“Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows…He was pierced for our  transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us  peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.” Isaiah 53:4-5
