Jesus’ ministry was about living out God’s love – abiding in, teaching, and showing us the Love of God. Jesus’ embodied, divine Love overcame every boundary and barrier that separated people from God and each other; it broke through shame, deception, prejudice, pain, and sorrow to bring healing and wholeness and it also overcame sin and death to bring redemption and restoration. That divine Love is what led to Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and it’s the same Love that raised him from the tomb. Throughout the season of Lent, we will be following Jesus’ ministry and, along the way, learning how to live like Jesus in order to become ambassadors of God’s Love.
On this Sunday, Pastor Ellynda shares how learning to live like Jesus means giving ourselves completely to God.
