Bright daylight was replaced by deep darkness. The earth shook with violence, splitting rock and opening tombs. Jesus, the Son of God, died.

The impact of that day 2,000 years ago changed everything and has the power to change your life today. Let’s discover why Jesus died, how He conquered death, and how we can find true life in Him.

Why Do We Die?

No matter how hard we try, we can’t “beat” death. At some point, we must all say goodbye to this world. In the Bible, we learn that death came into the world because of sin: “Through one man [Adam] sin entered the world, and death through sin” (Romans 5:12). Unless our sin is dealt with, it will separate us from God eternally: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

But that’s not the end of our story—there is hope!

Why Did Jesus Die?

The answer is so simple—love! God’s great love for you caused Jesus to come down from Heaven’s glory, enter our world of dust and death, and die on a cruel wooden cross. Because Jesus was holy and “committed no sin” (1 Peter 2:22), He was uniquely qualified to become our substitute. When He laid down His life, the Bible says He “gave Himself for our sins” (Galatians 1:4). Jesus died for you!

God is holy and righteous—He cannot let sin go unpunished. So Jesus became our substitute, bearing the weight of God’s judgment and paying the ultimate price on the cross. But Jesus’ death is not the final chapter. Three days later, Jesus rose from the grave, conquering sin and death once and for all!

Jesus ascended back to Heaven and God now offers forgiveness to anyone who repents and trusts Jesus as their Savior. To repent is to turn our heart away from sin and toward the only One who can forgive. This is the only way we can have eternal life in the presence of God. Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6).

Have you ever realized it was your sins that compelled Jesus to die on the cross? Have you ever felt your need of Him as Savior? These are very important questions to consider, because if you do not trust Him now as your Savior, you will meet Him in eternity as your Judge.

Jesus is the Way to Life

No matter how good or bad you may think you are, God knows you and loves you. That’s why He sent Jesus to set you free from sin and death! You can have peace of mind and peace with God when you repent and trust in Jesus. God’s desire is to “reconcile all things to Himself” so He “made peace through the blood of His cross” (Colossians 1:20). Today, God is inviting you into a saving relationship with Him. Turn to Him, confessing that Jesus is the Son of God who died in your place and rose again to give you new life. He will hear you!

La brillante luz del día fue reemplazada por una profunda oscuridad. La tierra tembló con violencia, partiendo las rocas y abriendo los sepulcros. Jesucristo, el Hijo de Dios, murió.

El impacto de aquel día hace 2,000 años lo cambió todo y aún tiene el poder de cambiar tu vida hoy. Descubramos por qué murió Jesucristo, cómo venció la muerte y cómo podemos encontrar la vida verdadera en Él.

¿POR QUÉ MORIMOS NOSOTROS?

No importa cuánto lo intentemos, nosotros no podemos “vencer” a la muerte. En algún momento, todos tendremos que despedirnos de este mundo. En la Biblia aprendemos que la muerte entró en el mundo a causa del pecado: “El pecado entró en el mundo por medio de un hombre [Adán], y por medio del pecado la muerte” (Romanos 5:12). A menos que el problema de nuestro pecado sea resuelto, éste nos separará de Dios eternamente: “Por cuanto todos pecaron y no alcanzan la gloria de Dios” (Romanos 3:23). Pero ese no es el final de nuestra historia: ¡Aún hay esperanza!

¿POR QUÉ MURIÓ JESUCRISTO?

La respuesta es muy sencilla: ¡Por amor! El gran amor de Dios por ti hizo que Jesús descendiera de la gloria del Cielo, entrara en nuestro mundo de polvo y muerte, y muriera en una cruenta cruz de madera. Gracias a que Jesucristo era santo y “no cometió pecado” (1 Pedro 2:22), estaba especialmente calificado para convertirse en nuestro sustituto. Cuando entregó Su vida, la Biblia dice que “Él mismo se dio por nuestros pecados” (Gálatas 1:4). ¡Jesucristo murió por ti!

Dios es santo y justo, y no puede permitir que el pecado quede impune. Por eso Jesucristo se convirtió en nuestro sustituto, cargando todo el peso del juicio de Dios y pagando el precio definitivo en la cruz. Pero la muerte de Jesucristo no es el capítulo final. Tres días después, resucitó de la tumba, ¡venciendo al pecado y a la muerte de una vez por todas!

Jesucristo ascendió de nuevo al Cielo y ahora Dios ofrece el perdón de pecados a cualquiera que se arrepienta y confíe en Jesucristo como su Salvador. Arrepentirse significa alejar nuestro corazón del pecado y acercarlo al único que nos puede perdonar. Esta es la única manera en que podemos tener vida eterna en la presencia de Dios. Jesucristo es “el camino, la verdad y la vida; nadie viene al Padre sino por Mí” (Juan 14:6).

¿Te has dado cuenta de que fueron tus pecados los que hicieron que Jesucristo muriera en la cruz? ¿Eres consciente de tu necesidad de que Él sea tu Salvador? Estas son preguntas muy importantes que debes considerar, porque si no confías en Él ahora como tu Salvador, tendrás que enfrentarlo en la eternidad como tu Juez.

JESUCRISTO ES EL CAMINO HACIA LA VIDA

No importa cuán bueno o malo crees que eres, Dios te conoce y te ama. ¡Por eso envió a Jesucristo para liberarte del pecado y de la muerte! Cuando te arrepientes y pones tu confianza en Él puedes tener paz interior y estar en paz con Dios. El deseo de Dios es “reconciliar todas las cosas consigo”, por eso hizo “la paz por medio de la sangre de Su cruz” (Colosenses 1:20). El día de hoy, Dios te está invitando a entrar en una relación salvadora con Él. Acércate a Él, confesando que Jesucristo es el Hijo de Dios quien murió en tu lugar y resucitó para darte una vida nueva. ¡Él te escuchará!
