John 3:16
Football. When I was a kid, I remember someone holding up a sign in one of the end zones during the Packer's game that read John 3:16. It wasn't until I became an adult that I looked up that Bible verse. How odd to see that at a professional football game. Why? Now I look back and think what a way to evangelize. The person who held up the sign had to have great courage! And since then, I have memorized that bible verse.
God so loved us
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that everyone who believes in him might have eternal life (John 3:16). This one bible verse pretty much sums up why God did what he did for you and me through Jesus' Passion, Death, and Resurrection. He loves you and me so much that He wants us to be with Him forever! So what can I do to say 'Thank you?'

In Christ Alone
This song by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend also sums up what God has done for us and adds to our continuing Easter celebration. Nothing else in this life matters, for God has given us everything, including Eternal Life, by sacrificing His only Son! In Christ alone, we are to put our hope, trust, and strength! For I am his, and he is mine, bought with the precious blood of Christ.
