Main Scriptures: Luke 7:36-50; Eph. 1:3-7
To embrace Jesus is to embrace the Father’s forgiveness that is freely given to us in Jesus with his sacrifice on the cross. The story of Easter is a story of forgiveness that flows from sacrificial love. To accept God’s forgiveness in Jesus is to be moved in response – the sincere response of deep gratitude. That response is demonstrated in our relationship with Jesus and with each other.
