What Easter Speaks to Our Body Image Issues

by | Apr 8, 2023 | Body Image

What does Easter speak to our body image? Easter means you can be free.

We all need the reminder that the cross is where our true worth and value are derived.

We aren’t more loved by the Father when we are pretty, thin, or well put-together. We aren’t more valuable to Him when we are perfect-looking, perfect mothers, perfect wives, perfect daughters, or perfect friends.

He can’t love us any more than he already does.

Jesus paid for my sin.

But he also paid for my shame.

Why should I hold on to body shame when he paid such a high price for it?

And, He promises not to love us any less.

Easter has so much to speak to our body image issues.

Questions for reflection:

Have you ever thought about the fact that your value is determined by Jesus? How does this strike you? Does this encourage you? Allow you to rest? This week: meditate on how Christ’s sacrifice and love for you determines your value. Journal about the ways you’ve searched for value elsewhere and write a letter to Jesus thanking him for paying so much to save you.

    This was beautiful. What a beautiful message! Yes, yes, and yes!! “Value is determined by how much people are willing to pay”- Jesus paid it all! What great perspective to keep in mind!
