The Greatest Act in History

March 29, 2013 17 Comments

The greatest act in history –

The greatest sacrifice –

As Christ endured the greatest pain,

He paid the greatest price.

He gave for our greatest sins

His life, His greatest gift.

He paid at Calvary’s greatest cross.

He closed the greatest rift.

This greatest act of love displayed

God’s greatest love – mankind.

Our greatest sins God heaped on Him,

So Him our hearts could find.

Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends… what nobody else could, he did…

Beautiful piece, Heidi! “He closed the greatest rift.” I don’t think we can realize just how great the rift was until we meet him face to face… after we have bowed down to worship him.

  Yes, He did close that rift … a canyon far too great for us to overcome! Blessings to you as you celebrate Jesus and an empty grave 🙂
