Fifth Sunday in Easter is here!

Amen. -Book of Common Prayer

“In the substitution that took place at the cross, we see the glorious grace of God—the very heartbeat of the Christian faith.” —@RCSproul
From ‘The Truth of the Cross’
Christ became obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross.
Because of this, God greatly exalted him
