God Loved Us And Sent His Son Craft

God loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins. This is the greatest expression of love that has ever been shown to mankind. As Christians, we celebrate this love and sacrifice every day, but especially during Easter. Easter is the time to remember the love that God has for us and the sacrifice that Jesus made for us. One of the ways we can celebrate this love is by making crafts that remind us of God's love for us.
