Pastor Greg Source: www.theparentlink.com April 2010 Celebrate Jesus’ Gift of Forgiveness From Sins “Jesus did not come simply to make bad people good. Jesus came to bring dead people to life.” That quote from Christian activist Shane Claiborne sums up the reason Christians celebrate Easter. Because Jesus came back to life on Easter morning, he offers his followers new life as well. The good news of Easter is that although we’re still sinners, Jesus forgives our sins when we confess them. We no longer have to be burdened with our wrongs and the guilt that accompanies them. But that can be tough to remember on a day-to-day basis—for adults as well as teenagers. In Group Magazine’s recent survey of more than 26,000 Christian teenagers, half of them agreed with this statement: “I’ve done things no one really knows about that impact my ability to feel loved by God.” The first hurdle is finding someone to confess these burdens to. If your teenagers aren’t comfortable talking to you about their sins, they may be able to open up to a youth leader or pastor who can assure them of God’s mercy and grace. The next hurdle is letting go of the remaining guilt. As longtime youth leader Jeanne Mayo said, “We must teach kids not only to repent from sin but to deal with Satan’s harassing mind games long after God has wiped the slate clean.” Past mistakes don’t have to mean lifelong regret. That’s a message you can share with your kids long after the Easter fanfare has quieted for another year. Forgiveness is a gift from God, but then he puts the ball in our court. We, in turn, must forgive others, too. Youth minister Andy Dish expounds on this important topic at SimplyYouthMinistry.com. Forgiveness sounds like a wonderful concept. But putting it into practice—and accepting it—can be Colossians 3:13 spells it out very clearly: challenging for people of all ages. Check out “Forgive as your Father in heaven forgave these interesting stats about forgiveness: you.” On a daily basis, God must get sick of me. But he still forgives me.

Because Jesus died for our sins and rose again on Easter, know you should? we not only have the assurance of forgiveness but are God’s friends who will spend eternity with him in heaven if we believe in him. Going Deeper What did Easter mean for God as a parent? Check out this devotional excerpt from Lane Palmer. To read it all, visit SimplyYouthMinistry.com and type in “The Heartbreak of Easter.” At Easter, we celebrate the fact that Jesus Christ came back from the dead after paying the ultimate price for our sins. We celebrate the fact that salvation is available through trusting in the risen Savior of the world. But sometimes we forget: There was more than one sacrifice that was made on the hill called The Skull where Jesus hung on the cross and poured out his life. There was also a Daddy. He watched in heaven as his precious Son was spit on, insulted, tortured, and finally murdered by people who had no idea who they were killing. The heart of God the Father must have been shattered into a million pieces as the land grew dark and Jesus cried out to his Papa: “Father, I en- trust my spirit into your hands!” (Luke 23:46). That’s why this Easter you need to remember and celebrate not only the earthly side of the gospel message but the heavenly side as well: God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). While we were headed for destruction—while we were selfish, sinful people, while we were clueless about the destiny of eternal souls—a Daddy chose to love us and chose to let his one and only Son be crushed by the gears of crucifixion. Let the tragedy and triumph of that first Easter convince you that you have a heavenly Daddy who loves you too much to live without you. To consider this further, read Psalm 22. It was written from the perspective of Jesus as he was hanging on the cross. Read it and imagine how Jesus felt and how the Father felt as he watched Jesus suffer for you. 5

Voice of the Martyrs Please join us for the Saturday April 17th VOM “Bound With Them” Regional Conference. The speakers will encourage and challenge you through testimony, God’s Word and information that will stir and equip you for His eternal purposes and to remember our brothers and sisters in bonds as if “Bound With Them.” (Hebrews 13:3) Speakers include: Pastor Steven Khoury is the youngest ordained Arab pastor in Israel and the Palestinian territories. Pastor Khoury currently writes articles for Al-Quds, the largest Arabic newspaper in the Holy Land. He is also authored the book "Diplomatic Christianity: Standing in the Shadow of Tomorrow's Persecution." Sarah from China lived out her faith in Christ in her homeland. This ultimately led to her arrest, torture, and 6 years in prison. Reflecting on what she went through during that time, “I thought of Christ being beaten on the way to the cross. He suffered for me and in a small way I shared in that suffering for Him. It gave me courage to survive my time in prison.” Her story is the video, “Sarah’s Trail of Blood.” Getaneh Getaneh is a gentle man whose radiant face belies the horrors he experienced during the red terror of the Mengistu regime in Ethiopia. Arrested by the Communist authorities for preaching, he was tortured, denied food, water, and sleep for days during his imprisonment. He eventually escaped prison and fled the country. When the Communist government fell in 1994, he returned to Ethiopia, only to be arrested once more. Mujahid El Masih from Pakistan was committed to Jihad until Jesus brought true peace. He became a pastor and watched one day as thousands opposed to the gospel destroyed his village. Today he lives in the U.S. and travels extensively opening people’s eyes to the truth of Islam and sharing his testimony. He is coauthor of the book “Fearless Love: In the Midst of Terror.” Robert Brock has been on staff with VOM for 15 years and has traveled to China, Sudan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cuba, India, Myanmar, Laos, Bangladesh, Colombia and many other countries.
