HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!!!

Dear Loved Ones, Family, Friends and PFC Brethren,

This season we remember the horrid moment of carnage on the streets of Jerusalem. The Son of God who came to be the Son of Man allowed His flesh ripped and torn in our stead. All because, He loved us!!!

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16 NKJV)

He climbed the cross - 
"No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father." (John 10:18 NASB)
... and declared: “it is finished”! He did it to accomplish a divine exchange.
"When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit." (John 19:30 NIV)

It is finished is translated from the Greek word “tetelestai” an accounting term meaning “paid in full”. And then in Luke 23:46 Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last.

THE GREAT DIVINE EXCHANGE WAS FULFILLED!!!

His death for our debt. His blood for our sin.

Our salvation, for His condemnation. We are forgiven. He was forsaken.

He was tortured. We are relieved.
He was crucified. We are comforted.

His life, for our life. He gave His life to give us life.


And, as He arose again this Day almost 2000 years ago, a new life was given to all of us who put our trust in Him. By faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection, we are made new.

He restores our identity. We are children of the Most High God!

"For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:26)

Happy Resurrection Day to you all!!!

We love you in Jesus name,


Felix, Mae & PFC Family
