Message from the pastor:
A boy and his father were traveling in a car when
a bee
flew through the open window. The boy was so highly allergic to bee
stings that both he and his father know that his life was in danger. As
the boy frantically jumped and tried to avoid the agitated bee, the
father calmly reached out and grabbed the bee. When he opened his hand,
the bee began to fly again, terrifying the boy once again. The father
holding up his hand with an implanted stinger, then said to the son,
"Look son, his stinger is gone; he can't hurt you any longer."
As a bee loses its stinger when it stings, so death lost its sting when
it stung Jesus. Death lost its sting when Jesus was pierced with those
long nails that went through His wrist and feet.
Jesus died a cruel death in order to pay the penalty of our sin.
For the Bible tells us that, "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. For God did not send His Son into the world to
condemn the world, but to save the world through Him." (John 3:16-17)
