Christ died for our sins ... , was buried, and ... rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. — 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Not many years ago, we watched as the “WWJD” craze swept through the Christian community. The bracelet-emblazoned theme “What Would Jesus Do?” was a valuable reminder to many people that we should consider the heart and mind of Jesus when making choices. As we seek to live in a way that honours the Saviour, it is appropriate to measure our attitudes and decisions against the example our Lord set for us. | |
| | Recently, however, I was in a church where I saw a slightly different message. This church’s sign read, “WDJD — What Did Jesus Do?” That is indeed the more important question, because our salvation depends on it. Paramount among the remarkable deeds of the Son of God are the events described in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.” |
| What did Jesus do? He took the suffering and guilt for our wrongdoing and paid our penalty. He died and conquered death so we could live. And the fact is, we will never be able to fully consider what Jesus would do until we have embraced what He did do for us on the cross.— Bill Crowder To follow Christ in all we do Can be a worthy goal If first we’ve put our trust in Him To save our sinful soul. —Sper We are saved not by what we do but by trusting what Christ has done. PRAISE GOD BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD | |

The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried, He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
