Easter Has Some Riddles and Sayings
4-8-19
I actually am a respecter of what I call “bumper-strip theology.” Sayings, aphorisms, Bible truths that can fit on a bumper strip on cars. Or note cards, or refrigerator notes, even on T-shirts. When lacking in formality or reverence that they threaten to be sacrilegious, no – but usually the wearer or bearer intends to honor God.
And… if there is an easy, attention-getting way to convey Bible truths, it is a good thing. I know one of one example of a lady who first saw the ubiquitous “Footprints” poster in a discount store… was profoundly impressed by the message … and became a devoted Christian. Holy ground? Think about it.
Pretending to possess no such wisdom as the creator of that graphic seashore image and legend, I have however thought of some phrases appropriate for the Easter season… that might encapsulate the Easter message; or the gravity of the Passion of Jesus; or the nature of the Incarnation; or the blessings of the Resurrection.
Bumpers… fridges… bulletin boards… caps and T-shirts… texts… go for it.
You can tattoo on your hearts, too.
Jesus Willed
To Be Killed
His heart bled… for you
Surrender Led to Victory
What makes you think you’re so special?
…Just because Jesus did?
The world’s first evangelists were women!
He was born to die
Our sins helped drive those nails
He has risen indeed!
He was on the cross,
but you were on His mind
Would you sacrifice YOUR son for strangers?
It is Finished!
“I find no fault in this Man.”
Would you have denied Jesus too?
“If I be lifted up,
I will draw all people to me.”
“Even though I die…”
He died for you while you were yet a sinner
If He’s not in the tomb, where is He?
Render Unto Jesus
… Your Everlasting Soul
HE LIVES!!!
“Father, forgive them…”
“Who do YOU say that I am?”
What man meant for evil, God meant for good
Quick: Name another leader who rose from the dead!
For Christ’s sake… Think of what He did for you.
You can tattoo these on your hearts, too.
