Salvador

2 He himself is the sacrifice God offered to pay for the wrong we have done. And he pays for the wrong things all people in all the world have done.

11 A saviour has been born for you today in Davids town. He is Christ the Lord.

10 This is love! We did not love God, but he loved us. And he sent his Son to be the sacrifice to pay for the wrong things we have done.

10 When we were enemies, the death of his Son brought us back to God. Now that we are made right with God, it is the life of Jesus that will save us.

18 You know this. You lived the way your fathers taught you to live, and it was not a good way to live. You were bought and set free from that way of life. But you were not bought with silver or gold money, which can spoil.

19 You were bought with blood that is worth much. It is like the blood of a sheep that is perfect with nothing wrong in its body. You were bought with the blood of Christ.

9 When he became perfect, he saved for ever all who obeyed him.

2 We must keep our eyes on Jesus. He believed from first to last. What was put in front of him made him glad, so he did not give up when the people nailed him on a cross. He did not care about the shame. And now he is sitting beside God.

25 Because of that, he is able to save people for ever, if they come to God by him. He lives for ever to talk to God for them.

23 All have done wrong and all are far from being as good as God.

24 But God is kind and makes them right with himself. It is a gift. He does it because Christ Jesus paid the price to set them free.

5 The angel talked to the women. He said, Do not fear. I know you are looking for Jesus, who was nailed to a cross.

6 He is not here. He has risen, as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

6 He was in every way like God. Yet he did not think that being equal to God was something he must hold on to.

7 He gave this up and became a servant. He was born a baby.

8 And when he was a man, he was humble. He was even willing to die, yes, to die on a cross.

22 God has always helped me up to today. I have stood and talked to both small people and great people. I have said nothing more than what the prophets and Moses said would happen.

23 They said Christ must suffer. They said he would be the first person to rise from death. He would be the first person to bring news of light to the Jews and those who are not Jews.

20 I died when Christ died on a cross. I do not live now, but Christ lives in me. Now while I still live in my body, I live by believing in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself for me.

15 That is why he is the middle man of a new agreement. He died and paid for the wrong things that were done under the first agreement. Because he is a middle man, those people who are called by God can have what he promised. This will belong to them for ever.

7 Jesus Christ has given his blood died to make us free. He has forgiven us for our wrong ways. We have been put right with God freely because of his great kindness.
