The Greatest Love Story
Today is momentous-
A day that holds a special place in our hearts.
It is a day for sober reflection
On the greatest benefaction in the annals of human history.
A time to ponder in solitude and silence
The greatest love story ever told.
The story of the love our Creator showed
When He allowed His precious Son to die ignominiously for us.
The Son suffered excruciatingly and died shamefully.
Out of love, he took the blow meant for us.
Our most enormous debt was written off.
From the throes of sin and the shackles of death, we were rescued.
At his expiration, the midday sky blackened, and the earth shook violently—
To mark the occurrence of the most important event ever to take place on earth.
We use this Memorial occasion
To reflect on what was lost so that we may gain,
To consider how we will live each day as our Redeemer would have us live it,
To assure our hearts that if He did not withhold the gift of His dear Son,
He will not fail to provide our needs,
And to renew our zeal in telling all who will hear
The greatest love story ever.
