Turning an assingment into a preaching opportunity

So today in Speech class, I had to present a speech on my favorite holiday! Well being Easter weekend, I talked about the TRUE meaning of easter! It was soo much fun! I now that the students were impressed. Here is the speech or what I call a sermon improv!

Easter
Easter. What is Easter? To some people this holiday revolves around a fluffy white bunny that brings them tons of candy. Children of all ages become extremely active from eating all of the sugary sweets and don’t realize that there is more to this holiday then just candy. (Pause) The true reason why we celebrate Easter is due to the ultimate sacrifice a man made many years ago.
Since Adam and Eve sinned, God knew that He needed to provide a pure and holy sacrifice in order for mankind to spend eternity with Him. In the Bible it states that God sent his Son to save mankind from their sins. Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice since he never sinned.
In the Old Testament, God told Abraham to sacrifice his son on Mount Moriah. Abraham obeyed God and went to sacrifice his son as instructed. However, God spared Isaac’s life at the last second. God told Abraham He would provide the lamb.
Thousands of years later, on that same mountain now known as Golgotha or the place of the skull, Jesus Christ climbed up and offered himself to pay for the sins of mankind. Jesus Christ is the lamb that God spoke about and Jesus was human without original sin.
Jesus was sentenced to death for our sins. Jesus did not know how to sin. He was a person full of love and compassion for humanity. When he was being persecuted by us and He asked God to forgive them, for they did not know what they were doing. Jesus even loved Judas even though Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.
Let me ask you something. If you were among the twelve disciples and found out that Judas betrayed Jesus, how would you react? (Pause) Would you kill Judas? Or would you show love toward Judas and forgive him of sins? Judas had a weakness. Money was his kryptonite. He was a very greedy person.
So overall, Easter is about the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for humanity. Because of His sacrifice, we can spend time in heaven with Jesus forever! The Easter holiday means so much to me. This event shows me that I am loved by God. God loved me so much, that He sent his only Son to die for me. Whenever I watch the movie, “ The Passion of The Christ”, I cry when I see my Savior being whipped and ridiculed. He was willing to die for my sins. I placed him on that cross of terror. How can He love a person like me that sins daily? God can love anybody because God is Love. God does not know how to not love a person. God is like of a river of love flowing through the earth. He is everywhere and He will NEVER leave. Overall, our God is an awesome God for loving us so much!
