A Note from the President,
Happy Easter everyone. I hope your Christmas and New Year’s were celebrations with family and friends.
This morning as I was driving to work I was thinking about TEC #111 and all of our preparations for it. I am so excited to have the opportunity to serve and share the Gospel through the ministry of TEC. I was really struck by an idea that I would like to share with you and articulate the best that I can. The idea is this…”It is finished.”
In John 19 these are Jesus’ last words before He dies. He says this, bows His head and gives up His spirit. It was not a weary proclamation of exhaustion, but rather a shout of triumph. In that moment everything changed. Sins of all who
believe were forgiven. The debt that was owed by humanity was paid in full by the sacrifice of Jesus. The mission of reconciliation that Jesus was sent for had been achieved. This means that you and I are free from the chains of sin, we are free to live our lives as a testament to what has been done for us.
As you read this I hope that you are filled with hope and joy knowing that your salvation has already been assured. I encourage you to live your life in the light of this revelation. I encourage you to stop trying to gain God’s acceptance, it has already been given. I encourage you to stop trying to outwork your sin, you’re forgiven. I encourage you to believe that God
has already conquered Satan, sin, and death and that his love and grace are enough for whatever you are facing. I encourage to stop struggling, to stop doubting, and to stop looking for acceptance and trust that it is finished.
Remember that every morning is indeed Easter morning and that we are indeed Easter people.
Shine On,
Jason
