At Aletheia Norfolk, we make a big deal and get pumped about the resurrection of Jesus. There are many reasons why we are so excited about the resurrection of Jesus but to list all the reasons would “stretch from sky to sky” as the hymn writer Frederick Lehman penned in 1917,
“The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.
“God met our guilt with His grace.”
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song.
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above,
Would drain the ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.“
“God met our guilt with His grace.” BELIEVE IT and GET PUMPED ABOUT IT!
