The resounding message of the gospel is this: “Come home.” Christ’s resurrection provides the pattern for those who come home: Just as Jesus was put to death on the cross, my old self is put to death. And, just as Jesus was raised to life, I become a new creation. But none of this can happen until I come to my senses, turn from my sin, and come home. Jesus did not come to earth to convince a begrudging Father to accept us; He partnered with a loving Father to save us. The Father planned our salvation, the Son accomplished it, and the Holy Spirit applies it.
Take-Home Message: The Father longs for you to come home.
