Dear Jesus,

Hi. How are you? I hope you've been doing well. I just wanted to write you a letter since this Friday is the day that you died on the cross for my sins and then rose from the dead on Sunday. You're the man! Actually, you're beyond man! Well I have been through the routines and motions of Good Friday and Easter, but I honestly have not stopped and really thought about what that mean to me. But this year, it has been different. I decided to really take this Passion week seriously, reflecting upon what that truly means. And the more I dwell upon the idea that you saved my life from eternal death blows my mind. It's as if I was crossing the road and a car going 100mph was about to hit me, but you ran and pushed me away so that I can be saved and leaving you dead on the street. It's beyond that. I pray that this message would be more and more real to me every single day I live. I've been reading Matthew recently and have been re-learning about your teachings. As I was reading your teachings from Matthew, I realized that you really speak out of love. I can tell that you really know and want the best for me. And also, you've really been revealing many sins in my heart that you want me to put to death such as lust, worry, judging others, love of money, pride, lies, fear. Thank you for your revelation. I believe in the power of the cross. And I believe that you are working in my life every moment. I know that even my perseverance to fight against these sins is a work of God! So this Easter, as you overcame the death on the cross, I believe in faith that you will overcome and put to death these sins in my life. I want to be completely satisfied in your love so that I will not seek the temporary satisfactions of these sins anymore. Fulfill your promises as you promised in Psalm 63 says, "...your love is better than life (v.3) ... my soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods (v.5)." Thank you again so much for the eternal life you've given me. I really take that to heart and I am truly touched by your love. I sure hope this letter made your day! Bye now.

Sincerely,
Paul TJ Park
