A 4:10 to behold on this 4/10:

1 John 4:10 (ESV)
“In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”

We talk a lot about our love for God.
And that’s good—of course we should love Him.
Of course we should worship Him, seek Him, and follow Him with a devoted heart.

But John kinda resets our thinking here.

Before your decision to follow Him and before your devotion to Him -
Before you ever took one step toward Him—He was already moving toward you.

Here John reminds us that the story of our faith doesn’t begin with us - it begins with Him.

And notice what His love actually DID.
It didn’t just feel something or say something—it sent Someone.
Real love is never just emotions or flowery words.
Love acts. It gives. It costs something.

God’s love cost Him everything.

That's what propitiation means — He stood in our place.
The judgment that was rightfully ours was taken by Jesus instead.
Every sin. Every failure. Every moment of indifference toward the God who made us and saves us.

He took it. All of it. Willingly. (For you.)

And not because we said all the right religious things. Not because we showed up every week.
But because He loved us first.

This is not a love that responds to how lovable or religious we are.
This is a love that moves in spite of us.

Not that we have loved God…but that he loved us.
That’s where the story starts.

And if what we behold shapes us…
Then behold the God who loved you first.
The Savior who stood in your place.
The cross that settled everything once and for all.
And an empty tomb that proved it.

Because when you behold that kind of love—
you’re not just informed…you’re transformed!
And that changes everything.

Aren’t you glad?

A 4:8 for this 4/8:

Philippians 4:8 (ESV)
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

We live in a world that is constantly competing for our attention.
There are so many voices, images, headlines and opinions.

But not everything that grabs our attention deserves our mind.
What we habitually behold, we quietly become.

And Paul doesn’t just tell us thoughts to avoid—he points us toward thoughts that are better.

Because the direction of our thoughts becomes the direction of our lives.

What we consistently look at, we will eventually lean toward.
What we repeatedly think about, we will slowly be shaped by.

So this isn’t just about thinking positively.
This is about thinking intentionally.

In a world filled with distortion, think on what is true.
In a world full of compromise, think on what is pure.
In a world full of noise, think on what is commendable.
In a world full of the ordinary, think on what is excellent.

Your mind is not neutral ground.

So be careful what you behold—what you fix your thinking on.
Because what you are fixed on is forming you.

Let’s follow the direction of John the Baptist and "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!"

Easter isn’t just a day we attend church, it’s something that’s meant to change us.
The empty tomb isn't just proof that Jesus lives, its' an invitation for us to live differently too.

It’s time to move beyond just "attending" and start "becoming."

Not just going to church, but coming alive in Christ.
Not just sitting in a seat once or twice a year, but being rooted in a family that will walk with you, grow with you, and point you to Him.

It's not about getting you into a building. It’s about getting you to Jesus!
And once you’ve encountered Him you won't want to just visit, you’ll want to stay.

Paul writes:
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

That’s not a one-day experience.
That’s a new beginning!

So yes, go to church this Easter, but do more than attend.
Come ready for something to begin.

Get to a Bible-believing, Jesus-loving church.
Plant yourself there and grow!

The tomb is empty! He lives!
And He is still calling people into new life!
