The Ten Commandments were given to us by God to show what He wants for the lives of those who follow Him. They provide a picture of faithful devotion to Him and others. If we are honest, none of us obey them faithfully, which is why we need a pathway to God. That is what Jesus provides us. Accepting Him as our Savior and Leader creates a new life fueled by gratitude and His Spirit. There’s more to the Ten Commandments than meets the eye. In this series, we’ll dig into them together to gain a better appreciation for God’s design for our lives.

Many people find meaning in the symbol of the semicolon. It represents not the end but a new beginning. The end of the Easter story is beyond what we want. God gave us what we need through His Son and saved us for all eternity.

In December, we looked at how God did something radically unexpected and new by sending His Son to rescue us. All hope seemed lost when Jesus died on the cross…or was it?

When Jesus came to live among us, it seemed our troubles were over. After all, the Son of God came to conquer evil and rescue us. To say His followers were stunned when He died on the cross is a massive understatement. They were shocked, shattered, and lost. Their hopes and dreams were set on Jesus leading them immediately into a “happily ever after” life. Too often, we can fall into the same trap and miss the better plan God has for us. The message of Easter is that God has proven He will go way beyond giving us what we want. He gives us what we desperately need!
