Happy Easter!
We wanted to share part of a poem with you. It reminds us of who Jesus truly is and why He came to earth to die on the cross and rise again.
"Long Ago" by Ron Hamilton
Long ago in Bethlehem
'Midst the holy light,
Earth received her morning star
On a winter's night.
Long ago in Bethlehem
Christ fulfilled God's plan;
In a lowly manager bed
God became a man.
Can it be this baby
Will for sin atone?
Can it be this manger bed
Doth God enthrone?
Long, long ago, He came to Bethlehem.
Long ago on Calvary
Love and sorrow met;
When the spotless Lamb of God
Paid the sinner's debt.
Long ago on Calvary
Heaven bore my pain,
When upon the cruel cross
Jesus Christ was slain.
One for all He suffered,
Nevermore to die!
Now in heaven's majesty
Christ reigns on high!
Long, long ago,
He died on Calvary.
