Easter is a special weekend! What Jesus did 2021 years ago
was amazing, he died the most powerful man who ever lived blameless on the cross, or what some religions would argue the torture post!
It isn't relevant though the small difference between a pole and a cross although some religions will argue about it it doesn't matter it is the act that is most important because when Jesus died living perfectly in the flessh he committed the greatest representation of forgiveness and love. He died as a perfect example for the rest of us to live like.
Think about it, this guy could nuke everyone in one thought but he died at the hands, murdered by imperfect man so that you and I can be in contact direct to God through him as his perfect sacrifice of his time in the flesh connected us all to God!
That is why prayer is so important and my favorite model prayer, mich means its just an example for people, and really what I use over the years to beat addiction here is my one model prayer;
"Father God, please take the urges of addiction and temptation out of my mind and heart and heal my body in Jesus mighty name!"
That is it - Jesus sealed the deal on Easter 2021 years ago for you and I do be able to pray right to God with athority, for each other, for the community, for bad and good situations - for anything! Just say "In Jesus name!"
Because he is the key to the Universe the first born "Lord" the one through all else was created!
