Sacrifice and Salvation: 8 Lovely Easter Devotions From In Touch

Next month, we’ll celebrate the main event of our faith – the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Without His victory over death, we would die in our sins with no hope of eternal life.

So praise God, Jesus rose from the grave. He is alive! And He will return to earth again. What’s more, God will raise US from death (1 Corinthians 6:14) – to live and reign with Him always.

Now, that’s something to celebrate!

And here’s something to get you started – a FREE Easter resource from In Touch Ministries. To learn more about this eBook and grab the download link, read on.

A Time for Reflection

Easter, also called Resurrection Sunday, is the holiest day on the Christian calendar. Easter centers on Jesus – His passion, crucifixion, and resurrection. By reflecting on his final days leading to the cross, we gain a better understanding of our faith.

This year, Holy Week – Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday – is April 2 to April 8. Christians throughout history have used this week for reflection. It’s a good time to consider the significance of sacrifice and salvation.

Sacrifice and Salvation

Have you heard of In Touch Ministries and its founder, Charles Stanley? He’s one of my favorite Bible teachers. In 2016, his ministry published a little eBook called Sacrifice and Salvation.

Elegant typography and floral images give it a vintage feel that’s perfect for spring. The lovely devotions – with extra space for your notes – can help you reflect on the meaning of Easter. Here are the titles:

• Hosanna
• Lamb of God
• The Bread
• The Wine
• The Table of Healing
• The Cross of Christ
• Living Expectantly
• Why the Resurrection Still Matters

These devotions are selections from a larger collection. Writings by Fil Anderson, Winn Collier, Laurin Greco, Ann-Margret Hovsepian, and Matt Woodley.

Charles Stanley wrote the final entry. “Without the resurrection, Easter would be a big lie,” he said. “Our faith would be worthless, and Christ’s death would have accomplished nothing.”

What a sobering thought. This weekend, I visited my digital library to read his words again. They’re a very good reminder of why we celebrate Easter.
