Introduction

I don’t know if you’ve thought about this or not, but the whole Bible is an Easter devotional. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture records the story of God’s plan to rescue us from the death-producing tragedy of sin. This is the central content of the biblical revelation. With all its drama and moments of seeming defeat, nothing can stop the biblical narrative from marching forward to its crescendo in the birth, life, death, resurrection, and royal priestly ascension of the Messiah, Jesus.

Over thousands of years, God recorded and preserved this amazing story for us because he loves us. He wants us to know that this story is our story, and in knowing, he wants us to be left in awe and wonder, brought to our knees in adoration and worship, causing us to live lives of gratitude, love, and surrender. The cover-to-cover Easter story of the Bible was not meant to be thought of so much as religious information. It was not meant to be treated as abstract theological information. There is one reason God went to the extent he did to preserve his story of grace for us: heart and life transformation. This story has the power to give life and to change you at the deepest levels of human understanding, motivation, and functioning. If you can walk away unchanged from the cover-to-cover Easter story of the Bible, you are a profoundly blind and deeply lost soul. No story has the power to do what this story can do because no story has a central character like Jesus, the Son of Man, the Son of God, the Messiah, who is God Almighty but comes to earth to be a servant and to give his life as a ransom for all who put their trust in him.

The Easter story is meant to confront us, expose us, comfort us, identify us, motivate us, and secure us.

Confront us. The way the Easter story works is that unless you accept its bad news, its good news doesn’t mean anything to you. This story confronts us with the inescapable truth that we are not okay. The words the Bible uses to describe us apart from God’s grace are lost, blind, wicked, rebels, idolaters, fools, and transgressors, as well as other words like these. It is not a very attractive list! If you are any of these things, you are a danger to yourself, and your only hope in life and death is to be rescued from you. The Easter story is the story of that rescue. God confronts us because he loves us.

Expose us. This story serves as a great spiritual mirror. Like the mirrors we have in our homes, it is scarily accurate. Look into the mirror of the Easter story and you will see yourself as you really are. This story silences our ability to deny who we really are, silences our argument that we are okay on our own, and silences our hope that our righteousness is enough before God. God exposes us because he loves us.

Comfort us. A person who has been confronted and exposed needs to be comforted. The comfort of the Easter story is not rooted in flattery but in substitution. God doesn’t work to make us feel good about ourselves; no, he comes to put himself in our place. He lives the righteous life we could never live; pays the penalty for sin in our place; rises again, conquering sin and death; and ascends to the Father to intercede for us. The comfort of the Easter story is a person, Jesus. God comforts us because he loves us.

Identify us. In the Easter story, God doesn’t just forgive us; he gives us a brand-new identity. No longer known by our track record, our foolishness, our inability, our weakness, and our sin, we are now “in Christ.” In Christ we are blessed with every eternal blessing, provided with everything we need, and indwelt by the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. We are his new creation and nothing can separate us from God’s love. This is who we are. God gives us a brand-new identity because he loves us.

Motivate us. There is no more purpose-infusing, empowering, and motivating story than the Easter story. Think about the fact that by God’s sovereign plan, your little story has been embedded in the most wonderful story ever. And because it has, everything in your life has new meaning and purpose. You are now part of the grand army of redemption, and your choices, decisions, words, and actions matter in a way that they had never before. You can now live with courage and hope because Jesus has conquered sin and defeated death on your behalf. What is there to fear? God motivates us with his grace because he loves us.

Secure us. The first resurrection of Jesus carries with it the promise of a second resurrection for all who believe. This story will not end until all God’s children have risen out of this evil world, with all its suffering and death, until every last tear has been dried, and until we are with our Lord in a world of peace and righteousness forever. God secures our destiny because he loves us.

So, this Easter, take time to meditate and luxuriate in God’s grand story of redeeming grace. Don’t just let it inform you; pray that it will once again transform you. It has been preserved for you because your Lord really does love you.

Day 1

Genesis 6:1–8

Redemption is where God’s anger with sin and his grace toward the sinner embrace.

It is so easy for us to minimize our sin. It’s so easy for us to be more concerned about or irritated by the sin of others than we are our own. It is so easy to argue for our own righteousness while being judgmental and condemning toward the sin of others. But if you minimize your sin, then you will no longer value, seek, or celebrate the forgiving, reconciling, transforming, and delivering grace of God. If you defend yourself in the face of conviction, you are defending yourself from the best gift that has ever or will ever be given: redeeming grace.

One particular passage powerfully depicts the sinfulness of sin. These are the words of a Creator who is grieved by what sin has done to his world and to the people he made in his own image.

The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.” (Gen. 6:5–7)
