Duncan speaks on the significance of the cross to Christians at Easter. The cross signifies the moment that Jesus who knew no sin, took the punishment we deserved for all the sins we have done in our lives. Yet, this beautiful exchange goes further still, with those who believe in him, receiving his righteousness! Therefore, the event of the cross, for all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour is life transforming.
Moreover, Jesus did not remain in the grave, but burst forth, defeating death and ascending to heaven. So, all Christians have a living hope because Jesus lives. This is an eternal hope that we will join him in heaven forevermore. But it is also a living hope that transforms our lives on earth and shapes what & who we live for.
This is the reason Christians have unending reasons to rejoice over the events of Easter.
