In the run up to Palm Sunday and Easter week, we give our listeners an opportunity to focus on who God Is and 'The Point of Easter'
“Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.”

Welcome to this edition of Gospel4You International. In this edition through a series of questions and scriptures, we aim to get you thinking. What is The point of Easter? What is The point of What we are doing as a radio station? We proclaim
John 3 verse 16 found in the Bible says - 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.
How can God be both Holy and Just while Loving each of us?
Even in Exodus Chapter 15: verse 13- In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength you will guide them to your holy dwelling.
În 2 Corinthians Chapter 13 verse 14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

If those who accept have eternal life, What happens to those who do not accept and when?
Luke chapter 12 verse 46 - The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
What happens in this place with the unbelievers?
Matthew 25 verse 41 - “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels
John 14 verse 17 - the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.
The point of Easter is to give hope in eternal life made possible through Jesus Christ Son of God and to avoid the alternative.
We believe in what The Bible tells us. We believe that Jesus Christ Son of God is Lord and Saviour. We believe that Jesus told believers to go and make disciples of all nations. That’s why we do what we do.
