Believer: Jesus, Saviour, Son of God, Lord (said from behind screen, using microphone)
Narrator: God created people free to choose to live God’s way or free to follow their own path. And you know how that story goes: Adam and Eve chose to go their own way. But this didn’t catch God off-guard, he already knew what was going to happen, and had factored in a rescue package:
Believer: Jesus, Saviour, Son of God, Lord (said from behind screen, using microphone)
Narrator: It makes your head spin trying to understand why God would do things this way, but then we don’t see the bigger picture, we don’t see things the way God does. From before time began, God’s plan had always been to send his son in human form to earth, knowing that this part of Jesus’ story would end with him being killed on a cross, that we might look at it and see only Roman soldiers killing a Jewish rebel, but in the spiritual realm, a mighty battle was won. Everything you’ve ever done wrong, everything wrong that’s ever been done to you, all that evil, selfishness, and pain—Jesus took it all upon himself and took the blame and the punishment. Now when we surrender our lives to Jesus, and God the father looks upon us, He sees us as innocent, because Jesus has paid the price for our sins so that we don’t have to.
