Eastertime is Heart Revealing Time By Lee G. Arntz God's Heart: For God so loved the world that he gave Hi only begotten Son, that who oever believeth in Him hould not peri h, but have everlasting 1ife. - John 3:16 Man's Heart: The heart i deceitful above all thing , and de perately wicked: who can know it? ---Jeremiah 17: 9 God's Transformation: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he i a new creature: old things are pa sed away; behold &11 thing are become new. II Cor. 5: 17 The Je\\'S ans,vered Him, \"\ 1 e ha,,e a la,v, and by our la,v He ought to die, be- cau~e He made Himself the on of God. - John 19: 7 And \\ 1 hen the,r ,,,ere come to the place, ,,,hich is called Ca1,rary, there the) 7 cru– cified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesu s, Father, forgi, 1 e them; for the:· kno,, 1 not ,vhat the)' do. A11d tl1e)· parted His raiment, and cast lots. And the people toad beholding. And the rulers also ,vith them derided I l i111, -..a~ ing He saved others; let Hin1 ave Hin1self, if He be Christ, the Chosen of God. - Luke 23: 33,34,35 Fron1 the e cripture ver e in God' Word we ee: Why Je us Chri t died, how He died, the love of God and the hatred of man. Jesus Christ aid He wa the Son of God. Man oalled Chri t a liar and their unbelieving hearts being so enraged they executed Him. As Je us hung between heaven and earth, the abundance of God' love flowed from His hear t in these word : ' Father forgive them; for they know not what they do. ' Luke 23: 34 The covetou (for what they could gain), the indifferent (for the how), the religious ( to exalt elf) each group for it own rea onr'.' took part in put– ting Jesus Chric; t to death. Ask men and women today if they would have taken part in the cruci– fixion. ' 0 h no not me," would be their an wer, but the facts in the ca e peak otherwise. Je-sus said "He wa the Son of God." The witness, ithe te timony, and the record of God the Father is that Je u Cihri t is His Son. "He that be– lieveth not God, hath made Him a liar· becau e he believeth not the record that God gave of Hi~ Son .' ' I John 5 :9 10. Unbelieving heart are the same today a in Chri t' day. Only today the Son and the Father are both called liars and back are turned on the ver)' be t gift heaven could offer. "The gift of God is eternal life through Jesu Chri t our Lord.' ' Roman 6:23. Jesus said, ~peaking of Hi death on the cro , " ow i the judgn1ent of this world." John 12:31. Mani·.; judged a to what he doe with Chri t, the chosen of God. They wanted C' hri t to come down fron, the cro by on1e n1iracle but the love of God kept Him there and H e died. Through the miraculoL1s work the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Je u ro e from the Dead. Don't just believe on a hi tori cal J e u·-- , but have real living faith in the resurrected , eternal Son of God, Je u Chri t. "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life : and he that believeth not the Son hall not ee life: but the wrath of God abtdeth on him." John 3: 36.
