Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners (1 Timothy 1:15, NIV).
Between God and me a chasm gaped.
I could not reach across.
Is there no way to touch my God —
to feel forgiving love?
A nail-scarred hand spanned the gulf.
I felt a loving touch.
“I took your sins to Calvary,” He said.
“Be reconciled to God.”
