I expect that almost everyone has heard this story, some even know it by heart, and it has changed the lives of many.  It is the story of a man who lived about two thousand years ago. He died a horrible death to give hope to humanity. Yes, you probably guessed, His name is Jesus. Almighty God who became a mortal human to pay for the sin of all humanity. Why did the SMS Club pick this topic?

Not long ago we all joyfully celebrated Easter: people baked cakes, colored eggs and greeted one another with the words "Christ is risen", receiving the reply "He is risen indeed!" The story of Christ's resurrection became so popular that with the passing years people started to lose the meaning. At Easter we set the table, have picnics, take walks, but the question is, did Jesus die for that? The SMS Club decided to talk about this with the youth of Poltava. As usual, the room was full, and we were happy to greet everyone, our old friends, and new young people who are just learning about SMS Club. We are glad that we have the opportunity to get to know these young people and discuss topics like these. We hope that for some this "unpopular story" will come in the end to be the meaning of their lives!

 

P.S "For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit" 1 Peter 3:18
