The world offers a myriad of temporary pleasures—material wealth, social status, personal achievements—but these are mere shadows when compared to the profound satisfaction of a restored relationship with the Creator. This is the essence of the human condition and the starting point for understanding the significance of Easter.
Every individual, at some point, grapples with the weight of their own significance, questioning the impact of their existence on the world. It's a common struggle, yet one that often overlooks the subtle yet profound influence each life can have.

John 1:9-13 NLT
Isaiah 53:3-11 NLT
Main Points:
Jesus was rejected by humanity so we could be accepted by God.

This trade is birthed in love and given as a gift.
Walk in the light of new life and become a child of God.
