A new song has been released from Made in Manitoba artist, Emmy Xornam all about the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus dying on the cross.

Xornam hopes that after hearing "The Sacrifice," listeners will meditate on the ultimate sacrifice. "As Christians, the sacrifice of Jesus is the foundation of our belief. If Jesus did not actually go to the cross to make the sacrifice and to resurrect and come for us, we wouldn't actually have had hope and belief. I just want people to know that they've been justified."

Max Lucado, pastor at Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, Texas, celebrated his golden anniversary of God's grace by getting a tattoo.

"50 years ago this spring, grace found me," said Max in a post. "My testimony is interwoven with my favourite word in the Bible. On the cross, Christ proclaimed, 'It is finished!' (Jn. 19:30) In Greek- “Tetelestai!” Among the meanings of this word is 'paid in full.'"

Pastor Lucado says it was that message that changed his life. Before finding God, he says his life revolved around everything but his faith.
