About this series.
- In addition to being a decorated or plastic egg, an "Easter Egg" is an unexpected feature in a piece of computer software or on a DVD, often included as a joke or a bonus.
- This 4-week series looks at the hidden "Easter Eggs" or prophecies about Jesus in the Old Testament, and what they mean for the Easter story today.
- Each week connects a specific Old Testament prophecy about Jesus’ death and resurrection with a correlating New Testament passage that explains its significance.
- By examining the importance of Biblical prophecy and its role in Christian faith, this series uncovers the great rescue plan Heaven had for humanity all along—one Easter Egg at a time.
No Plan B.
- According to the Cambridge Dictionary:
- Plan A…“An action or set of actions for doing or achieving something that is preferred to other methods.
- Plan B..."An action or set of actions for doing or achieving something that can be used if the preferred method fails."
- Jesus was God's only plan.
- God didn’t have a Plan B, because He knew it wouldn’t be needed.
- Before the world was ever created, God knew that Jesus would go to Heaven and one day die on the cross to pay for the sins of mankind. 1 Peter 1:20, Revelation 13:8.
Application.
- From the very beginning, God’s plan was for Jesus to rescue humanity from sin and evil.
- Think of how much God loves us to plan the story of our freedom in such detail, and over such a long time.
- The God who put an incredible plan in place for Jesus to come, loves you despite your sin.
