I am crucified with Christ and now I LIVE!
Good Morning, Campers!
We started today off with a story....
This story is a love story of epic proportions!
A story of redemption, sacrifice, and LOVE!
We had a captive audience!
They were watching and observing....
A man named Jesus was betrayed by a friend.
After an all night vigil of prayer,
He was confronted by a kiss... from Judas.
The Roman guards took Him away.
He willingly went with them.
He had a purpose. A plan the Father had made.
A life giving plan.
Jesus obeyed.
He was bruised and beaten. For you and for me.
Our campers were without words as they watched. We all were.
Jesus knew all along what He was purposed to do. He is a Life Giver!
He hung on the cross. He cried out to God the Father...
"It is finished"
That is not the end of the story.
The credits don't roll and we all go home..."NO"!
He was indeed crucified.
But HE ROSE AGAIN!
He conquered the grave!
Today we told this story in the first hour of camp. We used few words, but instead watched it unfold right before our eyes. We ALL needed to see this story this morning as we sat in the heat and saw with fresh eyes the absolute sacrifice that Jesus made for us!
It was moving. It was powerful.
Hearts were changed!
To Him be all the glory!
This is the testimony that God gave us, eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life, whoever does not have the Son of God, does not have life.
1 John 5:11-12
