FRIHET.

Långfredagen.

Jesus dog på ett kors.

Kompakt mörker, död och hopplöshet.

Tystnad.

En ny dag gryr.

Ljuset bryter igenom.

Marken skakar…

Livet segrar!

Hopp!

Liv!

Frihet!

Jesu dog och uppstod.

Tog min skuld, sjukdom, synd och skam.

Tog mina bördor, bojor och fångenskap.

Gav mig liv, förlåtelse, hopp, kärlek, glädje.

Av nåd. Helt oförtjänt.

Öppnade vägen till Gud.

Jesus – Den vackraste gåvan.

Jag kan inget annat än att bara säga:

Ja! Tack!

Och berätta om den vackraste gåvan jag fått: Jesus

”Han har frälst oss från mörkrets välde och fört oss in i sin älskade Sons rike. I honom är vi friköpta och har fått förlåtelse för våra synder.”
Kol 1:13-14

”Ni som var döda på grund av era överträdelser och er oomskurna natur, också er har han gjort levande med Kristus. Han har förlåtit oss alla överträdelser och strukit ut det skuldebrev som med sina krav vittnade mot oss. Det har han tagit bort genom att spika fast det på korset.”
/Kol 2:13-15

CAN YOU SEE HIM?

”Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”
/Isaiah 53

”For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”/John 3:16

❤

“I asked Jesus, ‘How much do you love me?’ And Jesus said, ‘This much.’ Then He stretched out His arms and died.” – Unknown

SAFEST PLACE

”God is our refuge and strength,an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains
fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the
mountains quake with their surging.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.

God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day…

…He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”/Psalm 46

THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN & EARTH

💜 ”When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?”/Psalms 8

”You surround me with your song

You sing over me.

Songs of joy rooting in my heart

Makes my heart bubbeling – Wow, that I am loved by you!

And to know that you love me,

This, I can’t contain -I just have to bring it all back to you!”

For the Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.”

”I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in
Me should not abide in darkness.”/John 12:46

LIVING WATER

”Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
/Jesus in John 7:38

come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.”
/Isaiah 55:1

he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.”

WONDERFULLY MADE

”For you created my inmost being you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well!

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand when I awake, I am still with you.”
/Psalms 139
