Easter

Mary’s Monday Musings to Quilt Encouragement

Easter

 

Isaiah 53:3-8 tells us about Easter. (I pulled concepts from this scripture and sometimes reworded)

Jesus was:

A man of sorrow acquainted with grief,

despised and rejected,

wounded for our transgressions,

bruised for our iniquities,

chastened for our peace,

beaten for our healing.

He took our iniquity upon himself

He was oppressed and afflicted

He was led to the slaughter

He was stricken for our transgressions

 

Psalm 103:1-5

 

Tells us not to forget the Benefits the above brings us.

Our iniquities are pardoned;

He heals our diseases;

Our life is redeemed from the pit;

He crowns us with lovingkindness and tender mercies

He satisfies us with good food

He renews our youth like eagles.

Oh, Lord, help each of us respond to all you have done by commanding our souls to bless Your holy name with all that is within me every moment, every day, especially Easter.
