Sacrifice and Salvation: 8 Lovely Easter Devotions From In Touch

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

But praise God, Jesus arose from the grave in a glorious resurrection. He is alive! And He will return to earth again some day, to take us to our eternal home. He will raise US from death or transform us (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) to live and reign with Him always.

Now, that’s something to celebrate!

And here’s something to help you get 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 can gain a better understanding of our faith.

This year, Holy Week – Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday – is April 13 to April 20. Christians throughout history have used this week for reflection. I hope everyone takes a moment to reflect on the cross. It’s a good time to consider the significance of sacrifice and salvation, of God’s greatest gift to us.

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.
