APR 29-3 | The Road to Redemption

Today, let's talk about redemption. It's about turning our mess-ups into something beautiful through the grace of Jesus. First off, we gotta admit it: we all mess up sometimes. The Bible's very clear about it:

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God - Romans 3:23 NKJV

But here's the thing: Jesus is all about forgiveness. He's ready to wipe the slate clean and give us a fresh start.

Then, there's the big moment: the cross. Jesus took all our junk upon himself so we could be free

7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace - Ephesians 1:7 NKJV

We can leave behind the old and step into something new with Jesus.

But wait, it gets even better! Jesus didn't just stop at the cross. He came back to life, showing us that even when things seem hopeless, there's always a way forward

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead - 1 Peter 1:3 NKJV

His resurrection means we can have new life too. The road continues next week.
