Our preacher used the story below in his EASTER sermon. I think this is such a great analogy of how GOD protected and SAVED us by sending JESUS. Thank you Lord for JESUS!
Once a boy and his father were driving along the road when a bee flew in the window. The boy got very upset when he saw the bee buzzing around his head and he began throwing his arms around madly, because he was allergic to bee stings! The boy was very frightened of the bee. The father quickly grabbed the bee! He held it for a bit and then let it go again.
The bee began to buzz around again and the boy was again frightened. The father told his son, “It is OK, you are all right.” Then he opened his hand to show the boy the stinger was stuck in his palm. His father had allowed the bee to sting him. He had taken the sting and had taken the danger out of the bee.
Jesus Christ did the exact same thing for us! He let death “sting” Him instead of us. He did this so we could live forever and never die. He took the danger out of death. We can know that once we die, we can be with our Father in Heavan. HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!!! (not a question, a exclamation!)
The Bible tells us about that “sting” being taken out of death by Jesus Christ:
“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of
death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
(I Corinthians 15:55-57)
I love how God did that for us. He is just like a father who would take a sting for his child. He did that for us!
What an amazing gift we have in EASTER!
Again, thank YOU LORD for JESUS!

Much too many Christians still do not recognise enough the person Jesus and the value of him not doing his own will, which he would have done if he was God, but doing the Will of his heavenly Father.
We should show our recognition and give him our full respect for his offering and thank God for accepting this ransom offer.
